| Skipped running today since I was at the doctors for two hours today. My wife and I are expecting again and she had an ultrasound today to find out the gender. We are having a girl! Very excited to soon have a daughter. I think Russ is going to be a great big brother. Due date is August 30th. With the baby on the way and with taking a new role at work due to a recent promotion, I think I will skip a fall marathon this year with the hopes that my 3:01:32 from Chicago will get me into Boston in 2015. | |

I was trying to complete the same workout I ran last year around this time leading up to my 5k PR, but I ran out of steam after the 4th interval. Wasn't really expecting to finish the 6 x .5 intervals.

| 5k out and back along west river drive near the art museum. This was my first year running this 5k and it is one of the most competitive 5ks in our area. The winner (who also won the 2012 Philly Marathon) ran 15:01 with 7 runners breaking 16 minutes. The weather was cool with some wind, but not bad for this time of year along the river.
Given my current fitness level, I was going to be happy with breaking 20 minutes. I started fairly conservative and kept a pretty even pace until about 2.5 miles where I slowed down a bit. Brought the pace back up for the final stretch up the small hill to the art museum. My mile splits (per Garmin) were, 6:13, 6:14, 6:22, 6:11 (final .13 miles). I didn't feel too spent afterwards and my heart rate came down quickly suggesting I probably could have gone a little bit faster. Feeling good about the results. I have my work sponsored 5k (same course) on Tuesday after work so I am hoping to shave a little time off of today's time.

| Work sponsored 5k after work this evening. It was supposed to shower, but we go lucky. Same exact result as the 5k on the same course as Saturday, weird. I started out a little bit faster this time and struggled during the 3rd mile. Miles were 6:07, 6:17, 6:30, 6:13 (final .1).

| 6 miles in 46:10. I ran the 5th mile in 6:30 pace. Legs feel pretty dead this evening. Going to take it easy tomorrow then a long tempo run over the weekend. 10 miler coming up on 5/4.

| 10 miles along the banks including 8 tempo miles. 1 mile warm up (7:43) 8 tempo miles (7:04, 7:32, 7:19, 7:10, 7:08, 7:20, 6:56, 7:03) 1 mile cool down (8:29) It took me a few miles to get comfortable at the tempo pace today. I had a big lunch which probably had something to do with it. At this point, I feel like 7:00 avg pace is a good goal for the 10 miler next Sunday. |
