First day in the new area.  And I needed to do a swim.  Got to the pool and got kicked out of the one I was in and had to go to the outdoor pool.  Swam that for a while.  Well until I felt good and wet and called it good after 20 mins.  Just not into it today.   Mostly wanted to just loosen up the legs.

Speed workout this morning.  Way early wake up call.  Got up at 3:10 to get to in a workout.  Problem was there was a storm last night so I opted to hit the gym instead of the track.  Goals for this one is a 2 mile warm-up with 5 strides.  Then 2x ( 6 x 400 @ 1:24 with 1:30 RI) 2:30 between sets.  Then 1 mile cool down.  Hit all 12 but the last one.  The last one I had to pull up with .3 to go.  Ended up with 8 miles in 62:15.  Feeling pretty good about the workout.

Mile 1 8:45

Mile 2 7:00 ish 5 strides

.25 @ 10.7 mph on TM 1% incline.

.15 RI @ 6 mph for 1:30 and .25 RI between sets @ 6 mph

Mile 8 8:30

TT 62:15

Tempo run at the gym.  Goal was to hit 3 miles @ 6:34 after 2 miles warm up and then 1 mile cool down.  Struggled on this one more then I would like to admit.  At almost 2 miles I was not feeling it.  Ended up hopping off 3 times in the last mile winded.  Wasn't feeling well last night so didn't swim or ride.

Day 4 in my new area.  Spent most of the day in training reading and testing.  Its quite a bit different then my last area.  Still a lot of the same sort of stuff.  But most its trying to figure out the dynamics of the new group.  Very quite but clicky group.  Odd things is there is only 3 of them.

No Gumpchump run today. So decided to do a 13 miler at home. Was going to run up to Copperton and back down. And when I went out for the run at 5am. There was a few lightning strikes and a bit breezy. So opted to go to the gym. So back in and changed a few things to hit the gym. Got to the gym and found out it didn't open till 6am. ARGH!! That was still 40 mins to go. So back home to change again for outside run and just packed a garbage bag just incase of a storm. Goal was to run 7:30 pace for the run. But with it being 6.55 out and back with most of the out being uphill. Plan was first half hold a good pace if all possible going out around a 8:30 and pick up the paces for coming back sub 7s. Ran into a few runs. The first mile was a gal I guess that lives in the same area as I do training for NYC marathon in Nov. She is a 5hr marathon. So the first .5 was a bit slow warm up and then I picked up the pace and headed out faster. Coming back down saw a few runners that helped to push the pace a bit faster and tried to stay nice and relaxed for them. Was good to see so many people out there running. Had a cross/head wind going out and cross tail coming back. Mile 1 9:47 Mile 2 8:24 Mile 3 8:37 Mile 4 8:41 Mile 5 8:47 Mile 6 8:56 Biggest uphill Mile 7 7:28 Turn around mile Mile 8 6:37 Mile 9 6:29 A rabbit couple rabbits to chase down:) Mile 10 6:37 Mile 11 6:59 Taking a blok really seemed to slow me down on this one. Mile 12 7:23 Flatter road Mile 13 7:30 half up half down. Mile 13.1 43 7:24 pace TT 1:43:04 AP 7:52 After thoughts: Didn't hit my overall pace goal. Need to work on my running uphill speed. Might of held back more with the goal of running faster down. But should of pushed harder on the uphill. And as for the blok. I do like that they don't upset my stomach much. But hard to down on the run and breath. Might need to go back to GU's or something like that. To get it in faster on the run.

Just looked at the run that I did after UVM.  Only the first 3 miles are different.  But still close to the same run on June 19 about 2 months ago.  Ran this one a bit faster on the steeper uphills and also 30 secs faster on the downhill.  Feeling really good about this run.  I will do it again 2 weeks out from SG for sure too and compare.
