My last 3 Runs

   I haven't posted since Monday's run I think, so here's the short on Thursday's run:
4 miles in 41:53, cold sleet and rain with an average pace of 10:28
Mile 1 - 10:38
Mile 2 - 10:58
Mile 3 - 10:23
Mile 4 - 9:50
  It pretty much sucked, I was eating chicken noodle soup for dinner after that and the next day.
Friday I ran my 7 miles, it wasn't exactly a tempo run as I wanted to take it easy so my legs wouldn't be fatigued for today's run. I ran 7 miles in 1:13:36 with an average pace of 10:31
Mile 1 - 10: 36
Mile 2 - 10:30
Mile 3 - 10:54
Mile 4 - 10:24
Mile 5 - 10:51
Mile 6 - 10:15
Mile 7 - 10:01

  Today, I decided to give myself a break from the hills out here in Chandler and I took my long run to the Greenway in Evansville. I was a little concerned that my legs were going to be fatigued after Friday's run, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ran 10 miles in 1:40:50 with an average pace of 10:05 min/mile, it was going so good I was tempted to do 13.1 miles just to see how well I would have done. The elevation gain was only 115, and my body was thankful for it.
Mile 1 - 10:35
Mile 2 - 10:12
Mile 3 - 10:22
Mile 4 - 10:18
Mile 5 - 9:55
Mile 6 - 10:03
Mile 7 - 10:07
Mile 8 - 9:54
Mile 9 - 9:50
Mile 10 - 9:34

   I tried to keep myself slow and easy for the first few miles, but my body just wasn't having it. I think this is the fastest I've ever ran 10 miles yet, and I know the lack of hills helped because I most likely would have been much slower out here near the house. Tomorrow I am running my easy 4 or 5 miles depending on how I feel, then Wednesday I'll tackle 7 again, and I might do another 4 easy on Thursday because I have my Bound the Mounds 10k Trail run on Saturday and I will need to find a way to get in an extra 4, most likely it will be on those same trails.
