10:17 am: 4 miles

Outdoor Run

Time Average Pace Elevation Gain Temp
29:52 7:27 per mile 243 ft 70º F

Overall analysis:

Was feeling pretty good throughout the run until the end of the 3rd mile. Really felt myself crashing, but was able to finish the run out strong. Averaged 7:27 pace. Been doing a lot of pre and post running stretches and massages and I think that it's really helping my shins out.

Running thoughts:

It's getting to be pretty hot. I'm gonna have to reinstate the early morning runs. Also I feel like I need to hydrate more. Gonna have to start carrying a water around with me again.

1:31 pm: 2 mile walk with the dogs

6:25pm: 2 mile run with the GF

Outdoor run
Time Average Pace Elevation Gain Temperature
18:46 9:22 min per mile 76 ft 70º F

Overall Analysis:

Shins were feeling a bit achy during the run, but I was able to keep it under control and after some post run stretching they felt fine. Pace was nice and slow so that was nice

Running Thoughts:

Glad to be running with someone again, even if it is slow. Miles are miles and it should be good for my body to be doing some slow miles

Outdoor Run
Time Average Pace Elevation Gain Temp
33:59 8:28 min per mile 122 ft 80° F

Overall analysis:

Shins were definetly aching today, but there were no sharp pains so I'm taking that as a good sign. I ran the first 3 miles with the GF, but then exploded into a hard last mile by myself. Averaged 8:28 per mile, but my last mile was 6:22. Felt really good during the last mile. Only major concern right now is the heat

Running thoughts:

I've really been enjoying my lacross ball massages right before bed. Part of me wonders if I should just always have a ball on my so that I can massage whenever I have a free moment. I also need to find a waterbottle that I will remember to take with me everywhere so that I can stay hydrated before and after my runs.
