Running With LeMire

Hockey Game: We played by far the fastest team we've seen so far this year. The problem was they had a pretty bad goalie. I ended up with 3 out of the teams 4 goals with another shot out goal in overtime to win the game. I also had a penalty for interference which was a pretty lame call.

6 miles in which I ran the first in 8:14 then and tried to run the uphills harder then usuall working on my form and keeping the pace faster. I ran miles 5 & 6 harder and definitely focused on form. Overall felt pretty darn good considering I played hockey last night. Average pace 7:38/mi for the entire run.

Ran the College Blvd loop again this morning just trying to build my mileage up for a long winter of training preparing for Boston in April. This morning I started off with a 8:13 mile then the rest around 7:23/mi with mile 5 right around 7min for an average pace of 7:23/mi for the entire 6 miles. I think that is a pretty good pace for me at this point in the year and my legs did feel a little tired from yesterday.

Ran the College Loop again this morning and it was another day this week of different weather. This morning it was 43 degrees out but with 17 mph winds which made mile 2 easy but mile 4 was directly into a stiff head wind. The rest of the miles where more of a cross wind which wasn't really to bad. Overall even with the heavy winds and wind chill at 32 degrees the run was at an overall pace of 7:33/mi. My hips are still tight so I'll have to watch that and make sure I stretch and ice again this week.

Ran the 6 mile College loop again this morning in 32 degrees and light breeze. Legs felt pretty good considering I haven't ran this many miles in a while. Overall it was a good run with an average pace of 7:24/mi. Felt good overall and spent some time stretching after the run.
