2/28/13 Workout

I forgot to post last night. I did not interval train yesterday. I did a 6 mile run. Wanted to see how quick I could run it in. I did good first 3 miles stayed around 7:30 min/mile pace. Mile 4 was under 8 min/mile pace. Then mile 5 and 6 the pace dropped. Still ran my fastest 6 yet at 48:46 an 8:08 min/mile pace. I have to learn to keep my pace a little slower in beginning so I can maintain throughout the run and be able to push more at the end.

2/21/13 Workout

Today was not particularly good, yesterday neither. I have ran 2 miles and 5K. Both days my energy levels just plummeted. I know it is correlated to my nutrition. I have to continue tweaking again til right. I went through this training for San Francisco. But I am trying to run more miles each time now. I have cut my carbs way back lately and this might be the issue. Other one might be that I tried to jump from 4.5-6 miles of running to 8 each day. Guess I need to cut back down and gradually work to 8 miles. I just will tweak and keep pushing to reach my goals.

2/19/13 Workout

Today I did an 8 mile run. No intervals, just getting use to daily 8 mile runs. I set a pace of 10 min/mile. I did get off the gravel loops been running and took to streets for some to be able to run hills.
