Building longer

Last week, I did a bunch of short runs for some reason.  I started with a lunch 4.5 miler Monday - it was slow 8:21 pace.  Tuesday was suppose to be really bad rain - so I ran 1.7 in the morning - kinda thinking about my day/weekend of short runs - then went out in the rain anyway with Larry but cut it short (3.4) and slow 8:15s.  Thursday I did 5.1 miles at a mixed pace - very slow to start (9:01 and 8:52), but then did 8:-7 and 7:13 for the middle two (8:21 jog in).  14.5 miles total.  Some solid strength training mixed in, and one bike to alewife.

Yesterday I did a 6.8 miler from home.  Jogged down to alewife - then back up minuteman - then home.  8:19 pace.  Today I headed out with larry - a little faster: 8:28, 8:03, 7:55, 7:20 and 8:19 - I like those runs.  Weather was overcast - but perfect for running.
