Easy run with my father

This morning slept in bit but was out for my run at 8:20 a.m. with my father, We were out at an easy pace and went out to the conservatory , did 3 laps counterclockwise and 3 laps clockwise! after the 4th lap I dropped him and I was keeping the same pace, I was running with good form and tall, I was feeling strong but the legs were a bit heavy, I finished the 8.52k in 50:55, ran with watch on time of day of course!, my father did 52:39, hit the wall hardly in the last 2 kms! ouch! Weather was decent, definetely cooler and better than at 11:00 a.m.! Nice run, just building up the miles slow!

Hot run today

This morning did no run predawn, woke very early yesterday and went very late for a nap, so I slept in a bit. At 11 a.m. went out for my run, went out to the conservatory, 6 laps there and came home, felt strong and good, but in the last lap felt a bit thristy and tired, dont know if that is mentally, finished the 8.5k run in 48:40. Ran with the watch on time of day though. The weather was ridiculous hot today, I am going to opt for a predawn run tomorrow. It seems that my body is used to the 9:10 or so pace per mile even without looking at the watch, How do I get that pace to 7:30 range for easy days at the same effort as a lot of guys here train at that pace or faster, I would like to be there! Happy humpday!

Finally a predawn run

This morning woke up at 5:15 a.m., to be honest dont have time during the day today si I had to force myself to run predawn after around 1 month with not predawn running!! I felt so so during the run, the stomach was not behaving and was sluggish, the weather was great. Was going to to 9k but with around 8.7k had to stop for a watch, the stomach problem was uncontrollable, if you know what I mean!! Thanks I got to my house waking 300m with no problem. Great start to the day!

Finally feeling strong

Yesterday took the day off!! it seems that whem I am worried for an exam or explanation in the classes, I only think on that and skip the running! 1 subject to go though! Anyway this past week I improved my running a lot, in the last 2 months I had done virtually nothing longer than 20 kms per week, the past week was 41. This morning went to the conservatory to do 6 laps, I went out a llittle late, at 11:08 a.m. too hot there, but things clicked today in my body, I was feeling very strong! I only felt the heat in the last 15 mins, but was feeling very strong so no problem. Sped up a bit in the last 5 mins. Ran with the watch on time of day, but the final time for the 8.5k was 48:46, honestly I thought that I was going faster than that, but I am only building up mileage so the more important thing is to get to 40 miles weekly and beyong!! Happy Sunday all!

Too hot and low energy run

This morning at late a.m. 10:25 a.m. went out for my run, was planning 8.5k but the body had other plans, in the halfway of the 8.5k , the body was low energy suddenly and I was struggling at an easy pace so I cut the run short, and only did 9.5k in 38:20, a short this week wont hurt as I am building up back slowly. Weather was too hot. Honestly I felt a bit dissapointed in not completing my goal of 8.5. 6.5k total,38:20.

Nice 8.5k run

Yesterday took the day off to recover!! This morning after going to embassy around 10:10 a.m. I decided to go run a few miles, my 8.5k run to the conservatory at an easy pace, did 6 laps there and back home, felt very good, leg bothered me a bit in the beginning, but then it eased up, I feel real good running at that pace again. Now the goal is to build up for several months, then fine tune with speed!! The weather was decent. 8.52k in 49:01.

A bit tired morning easy run

This morning I went out at 8:30 a.m. for my run, the plan was to run very easy just to get in the miles, I felt tired today, calves bothering me because have run 8.5 for 3 days in a row, have not done this in 2 months, oh well, did 6 laps to the conservatory running easy, in the last lap the calves were not tight anymore, ran with the watch on time of day, but the final time for the 8.5k was 49:28, just putting in the miles!
