11/29/15 to 12/5/15: It's December Already?!

All the way back on Sunday September 13th at Battle Road with Kevin, I inadvertently started to run...more.  At that time, my current seven mile morning commute was a not-quite-established routine, and I was still a doe-eyed newly wed.  I had been hoping to formulate a training plan leading up to one of the BU mini meets, but all of the sudden three months have gone by.  How'd that happen?

Last year the mile training was very deliberate and executed fairly well.  This fall has been a bit different, but I think I'm rounding into form.  We shall see.

The stuff:

29-Nov		Long Run		2:20:28		18.23		Battle Road. Took 2 ibuprofen for the swelling in the left foot.  Fine to run on, but didn't want to alter my gate.  Felt pretty good.
30-Nov		Easy/Moderate		1:20:06		10.59		AM: 5+ at 7:37. PM: 5+ at 7:31.
1-Dec		Easy/Speed		2:15:22		16.81		AM: 7+ at 7:50. PM: 800x2/600/400/200x2 with 4min rest after the eights, 2min after the six, and 1min after the two and four.  All at mile pace(ish).
2-Dec		Easy/Easy		1:46:50		13.2		AM: 7+ at 7:55. PM: 6+ at 8ish.
3-Dec		Easy/BU Track		2:01:40		17.13		AM: 7+ at 7:45. PM: 10+ at 6:35-6:40.  Windy and with a back pack.  Pub Series afterward.
4-Dec		Easy/Easy		1:59:28		15.07		AM: 7+ at 7:40 PM: 8+ at whatever.
5-Dec		Easy		1:23:00		10+		AM: 10+.  Not sure the exact distance as Garmin was a little whacky and I went on an 'exploring' run throughout some nearby neighborhoods.

Tuesday Splits:

800-2:27.51

Rest-4:24.33

800-2:29.82

Rest-4:15.52

600-1:51.78

Rest-2:28.64

400-1:12.24

Rest-56.25

200-33.01

Rest-1:08.32

200-32.38

Not quite on pace for those, but I'm happy with the workout.  Those 800s are slow for what I'm hoping to run, but I think a major benefit is just getting to that place where the mind starts to get a little fuzzy.  Getting used to that feeling, and being able to stay focused & hold form should prove beneficial once I finally lace up.
