Runs from September 25-October 1, 2011, 37.52 Miles

September 26, 2011

5.34 Miles
49:46 Time
9:19 Pace

Another fast run for me, and the best mile was mile 5, 8:59, up Greenwich Ave.  I was wearing my new Lululemon running shorts.  I got a certificate for the store and I hear these shorts won't chafe and they 3 pockets, one with a zipper!

8.2 Miles
1:34:56 Time
11:35 Pace

My knee was bothering me mile 1.5, and I was thinking of stopping but I stretched and kept going.  My condition improved.  It was a bit muggy and I probably should have taken my water bottle.  Going to take some glucosamine now, an OTC supplement which I hear helps with recovery.

7.38 Miles
1:22:16 Time
11:09 Pace

Felt much better than yesterday.  I had a nice breeze and my water bottle with powdered lemon lime Gatorade.  I still can't sense my pace, as I thought I was doing more 10:30ish miles at the end but it was more like 11:30.

5.09 Miles
54:18 Time
10:40 Pace

Assuming I don't run Fri, I finish Sept w/151 miles, which is only the 6th highest in 17th months.  Jul and Aug were 189 and 178, my two highest.  On the brighter side, I ran 3/4 marathon (with some breaks) on a hilly trail and a 2:09:39 half with no taper, originally planned as a long run. Three days after the half I ran 7.38 miles at 10:14 pace, 4 seconds faster than my ideal marathon pace. Not sure if that's good but I thought I would add it.

11.51 Miles

11:50 Pace

I was feeling a bit stiff Friday and I was debating running today.  I figured a slow, but semi long run might help loosen me up.  Overall, I felt fine.  Maybe I need to cut down on the speed workouts and stretch more.  Hopefully I can feel good to run a 20 sometime soon and figure out how to have a gel without slowing down too much.
