it was very much decent...i actually thought my time would be better based on how it felt, but it's okay because overall the run was decent

I had a decent 6 miler this morning.

Ha! Not even. 61 mins.

To be exact, I ran 6.32 miles in 1:01:22.

9:43 pace.

The more I see the Boston 10s, the less I hate them. Don't think I'd ever run in them but they don't look as terrible as I first thought.

9:30am morning run. 5.5 in about 1:07. Legs were killing me first couple miles. Walked a lot. Pushed through. Felt good but all these 5 milers are catching up to me.

i’m proud of you…you’re motivating me to want to try some longer runs again

was really hoping to go tomorrow, but the weather likely won’t permit

I struggled today

oh we will

i think next I’m going to try to pace myself a little slower and go for a steady 4 miles…maybe around 42:00

You know, as much as I love running and donuts, I've never enjoyed a post run donut until this morning. The height of celebratory gluttony.

that's the stuff right there.

I went for a walk today. We have trails all around my town. Big wide paths for walking, running, biking they go for miles. I went for 12 miles once on a lark I ended up in another town. Anyways today I was walking and I come around a bend and there are like 60 college kids. The UConn girls and boys running teams. I saw a couple other colleges. Everyone was tall, thin, ripped and beautiful. Most of the dudes had no shirts with 6 packs. The girls had on like those bike shorts with the tank top athletic half shirt things. It was like I walked into a model convention. People weren't that good looking when I went to UConn. I felt like Quasimodo walking by them.
