This is my week to increase my milage.  I was going to try and get 50 in this week but I think I may plug away another 45 mile week.  Last week I felt sluggish all week and my recovery seemed a little slower then usual.  So I think I may keep it where I have it for another week and focus on getting more sleep and simply taking better care of myself.  

 With that said, I did my normal 7.68 route in 1:01:10, with the last mile in 6:15.  I felt much better today than I have.

Ran tonight in the rain.  I love running in the rain.  I know I said yesterday that I was going to take this week to get more sleep and take better care of myself but those darn PENS in their triple overtime win last night messed that up.  Hopefully the Pens can win game 6 tonight in a little quicker fashion. 

 Anyway, total time 48:37 with the last mile in 5:49 (Last mile is slightly downhill most of the way).  Felt great tonight but must get some sleep : )

Had the best intentions on running tonight after my wife came home from work but her schedule was messed up and she ended up staying until very late.  Since its not a good idea to leave your baby home alone and since I was pretty much useless at 11:50 when she got home I had to put up a big old Goose Egg today.  This is the first day I have missed since I started running again and have used this blog, I am kind of disappointed, I was being very consistent to this point.  Such is life I guess, at least I was planning on keeping it easy this week.

Ran this morning on the track at the high school I work at.  Did 6 miles and tried to push the pace a little since I missed yesterday and felt rested.  Here are my splits:

Mile1: 7:55

Mile 2: 7:33

Mile3: 7:25

Mile4: 6:48

Mile5: 7:43 (Not sure what happened here)

Mile6: 6:11

Not the fastest times in the world but they felt good and minus the humidity (it was 82 degrees at 5:45 this morning) it was an absolutly stunning morning.  The fog on the football field and the sun rising over the city, made me wonder why I don't get up early more often.

I think I ran 6 miles today, I was away rafting on the New River Gorge in West Virgina. I didn't really have a course mapped out so I ran for 50 minutes, I figured that had to be about 6 miles.  If any one is over this way and looking for something fun you should check this place out.

Ran my normal 6 easy because it is a million degrees in Pittsburgh, (Record highs today) and I am a big baby when it comes to heat.  Total time 48:51.

Tough getting out to run again this week between my wife's birthday, vacation, and finishing the school year.  Next week I am done with school and should be able to get back into my routine.  Not sure of my time, I ran on the school track and had forgot my watch.

Ran this morning and felt pretty good.  I am going to try and become a morning runner now that school is out and I have a little more flexability with my schedule.

Ran my long run this morning and have to say it felt really good.  I took it easy because I have not run a good long run in a few weeks but could have picked the pace up if I wanted to. 

Total time 1:37:04  (My goal was 1:36)

Ran 8 flat miles at South Park this morning and felt really good.  No official time, left watch at home because I was rushing to get out the door.
