I was super excited for this run. It was a long couple of days waiting for the monday run to come around. Tom and I did 6.75 at 6:28 pace, then went  to the gym and did some squats, RDLs, calf raises, walking lunges, and then a little bit of core. I discovered that my hamstrings are extremely weak right now. Did an easy half mile home afterwards.

Was hoping to go farther, but because of the cold I've come down with I decided to keep it a little shorter. I was pleasantly surprised with the pace I felt like I was running considering how sore my hamstrings were from lifting yesterday.

Ran at night in the dark, and was once again planning on going farther, however I was not feeling good. My stomach was kind of upset and my cold was still bothering me while running.

Decided to take today as an easy day as I want to kick the cold and be ready for my next couple of days of training. I ran to the arc, then rode the bike easy for thirty minutes, and then ran back. I decided this would be better than not doing anything for the sake of my hamstrings.

Did a bit of a warmup running to meet up with Tom and what not. Then I did 6 mile repeats with 90 seconds recovery between. Tom started with me but stopped after two because he was having some stomach issues. The goal was 10k pace. I went 5:45, 5:50, 5:40, 5:37, 5:28, and 5:09. I was happy with the effort, and it gives me even more confidence moving forward. Cooled down back to my apartment. Luckily we missed the rain too.

The plan was to do ten miles with Tom. I did the first six with Tom, but we were going pretty slow because his legs and lungs were struggling for some reason. I was able to negative split over the next four miles and ended up averaging 6:35 for the ten miles. I did two more easy miles after that, but the stadium hill just about killed me.
