Long run day. I decided to run downtown and then cross the river and run back on the trail on the north shore. I felt pretty good for the first 2/3 or so, in spite of the wind - probably because it was all flat/downhill. The last third or so was considerably slower, which makes sense considering it was more trail and there was about a mile of straight uphill right near the end. Overall a nice route, although I wish there was a way I could do it without all the uphill at the end.

The easy friday evening run is quite a nice thing. Maybe better than the friday long run? I guess we'll see, but I think this might be the new friday tradition...

Nice, easy run today. I was trying to run slower because I've kind of been failing at that lately, but I guess I didn't do a very good job of it, especially considering the excessive amount of time I spent waiting at red lights. Ah well, it was still a good run :)

Went out to the Montour Trail after work to do some intervals. I went the opposite direction from last time, which was alright except the trail was not paved in this direction, making running fast more of a challenge. I did 8 X (2 min fast, 1 min slow). I didn't feel great, partly because of the trail surface, and partly because my legs were tired from yesterday. It was a good workout though, and a beautiful day for running. I averaged between 6:50 and 7:20 pace on the intervals - I blame some of the variance on elevation change.

It's amazing how therapeutic running can be, at least for the mind. My legs are going to be regretting how fast this run was tomorrow...
