Alright, alright, alright.... So far things have started off real well.
First off, Monday was my rest day from running but I focused on some upper body strengthening and core/abdominal strengthening. And I also did some stair bounds - with the help of my little workout buddy

Hopefully you are able to view it, we've actually got 2 flights of stairs but couldn't record the 2nd flight so I didn't do that the second time around. Normally I do both flights of stairs, and he was doing them with me so I wanted to record it, so we only did the first flight.
Tuesday morning, I woke to my "The Rock" alarm clock, the Silverback sound at 3:45 AM. And I was ready to roll, Jetta and I were out the door by 4:10 AM. Temperature was 70 degrees and only 60% humidity, winds were around 6 mph WNW. We ended up running 6.3 miles out of a planned 5..... yep... But it was slow and easy, so I get points for sticking partially to the plan.
We ran it in 1:04:06 with an average pace of 10:11 min/mile, elevation gain was 105 feet.

Then later that evening ( 5:30 PM ) I took Dorian and Jetta down to the Evansville river front to run and meet up with Jumpstart which is the group I'll be getting in my double runs with on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We parked at the river and ran to meet them, I got in a mile and then ran 2.25 with the group and then got in another .9 miles to get back to the Tahoe. It gave us a total of 4.15 miles, finishing in 40:41 with an average pace of 9:48 min/mile. It was 77 degrees, sunny and windy at 9 mph NNW (that is windy when you consider pushing a stroller dang it).
I don't mess with my watch really during these runs unless we hit a corner where we're going to be waiting for longer than 30 seconds.

I got in a total of 10.45 miles for Tuesday... that's a lot.
Wednesday morning I woke up to my Silverback alarm at 3:45 AM, a teeny bit sore but not bad. Jetta and I were out the door about the same time as Tuesday, it was 61 degrees, clear skies and not really humid (68%).
The not so humid and my already being tired was definitely noticeable as I stopped quite a bit. I think I was also feeling those stair bounds from Monday, in my glutes. It was a bit tiring and I am sure my body is trying to get used to this early, early morning up and at 'em routine again.
We ran 10 miles in 1:42:40 with an average pace of 10:16 min/mile, with elevation gain of 196 feet.

Definitely some easy paces so far this week, but I am good with that as right now I am just focusing on slowly increasing my mileage.
