Running With LeMire

Men's Hockey Game at 10:10pm, way to late for this guy!!! Overall it was a pretty easy game and not to rough except when this big old guy decided to full on check me against the boards. He ended up with a 5 minute major in which we scored a goal and he still had to sit in the box for the rest of the 5 minutes. I scored the first 2 goals of the game then an additional one in the 3rd period with at least 1 assist in the books and 2 minutes in penalty minutes for tripping. It was a pretty lame call just playing defence and the guy went down. Oh well we won 6-2 and had fun.

Ran the College Loop after work today since I didn't want to get out of bed during the wind and rain we got over night. Winds over night and early morning were 20+mph with rain at the same time. That did not sound like an enjoyable run so after work run it was.  It's amazing how much looser my body is after work than running first thing in the morning. It doesn't take my body 1+ miles to warm up I can just go and today proved that by opening up with a 7:35mi, 7:07mi (rolling), 6:56 (large uphill), 7:11(rolling), 7:05 (into wind 5-10), 6:52 (hilly). Overall this run was a 7:08/mi average which I beleive is my new record for this route. I thin the previous record was around 7:13/mi average. Overall felt pretty good in the misty weather conditions.

This mornings run was a tough on to get out the door on since I just ran last night and am not use to the quicker turn around. I did switch up the shoes and this morning it was not raining at all but it was even stronger winds of 13+mph making it feel like low 30's even though air temp was 42 degrees. Overall the legs felt a little tired but no real pains. It took my awhile to get warmed up and my muscles never really loosened up. Today's run was definitely not as fast as last nights and I tried to keep a more even easy going pace. I averaged a 7:49/mi pace on this run which was actually a little faster than I originally thought I might run more like 8/mi after yesterdays fast run. 

Ran the College Loop again this morning and do not know my official time since my watch battery died with about a quarter mile from home. I figure it was around a 7:30 something pace this morning though based on what the first 5 miles were. Overall the legs felt pretty good considering it was my 3rd day in a row of running.
