It was an out and back this morning and a good way to start the month.

Mostly just a normal good pace but then I threw in a bit of fartlek at the end to get a little speed going.

8 miles, most of it pushing the boys in the stroller.  I did some intervals of fast and slow toward the end and that was good.

8 miles with the boys in the stroller.  I felt good and this has turned out to be a pretty good running week for this time of year.  It's been pretty warm this week, and it should cool off a little before summer hits in earnest, but I don't mind the heat that much.

It was a nice run.  I pushed the boys in the stroller and Anna rode her bike.  We stopped and played at the playground for a while.

This was a great morning run down at Mission Bay in San Diego.  I ran the first 11 with my mom and then went the last mile in 5:44, which was surprisingly fast since it wasn't a very strained effort at all.

Easy to start but then with some speedwork thrown in at the end.

After a 1 mile warmup, I did a 4-mile tempo run with splits of 6:26, 6:29, 6:30, and 6:41.  Then I did a 2-mile cooldown pretty easy pace.  My perceived exertion was not too high, so that was nice.  I did slow down a bit at the end, but I'm happy with where I am at this time of year.  A little surprised at how easy it feels to be going a little faster.

It was a nice morning run, mostly on grass in the neighborhood and around the baseball field.

It was an eleven mile run this morning.  After a couple miles warmup at around 8:00/mile pace, I went the last nine hovering around 7:30/mile.  I've been happy with how my training's been going so far.

It was a good morning run, which was nice because we found out today that our washer is done (and not worth fixing).  This isn't exactly the sort of news you want ever, let alone in grad school, but it could be worse.

This was a pretty laid back Saturday run, which makes this week a little bit of a cutback.  That's probably a good thing right now, since there's plenty of time to build miles and it's probably more important to avoid any injury.
