Run 48 and 49
Running Total: 423
Stats: 5K, 10K, morning, sunny, mild.
Description: The first was an easy run on the boardwalk near my mom's house. Good warm up and warm down. Felt very good and took it pretty easy. The distance is a guess because I ran for half an hour.
The second run was a Burnaby Lake run. Ran with the Mrs. and the pace was great. Took around an hour but felt really good running it. Could have used a better warm up but she was ready to go. Warm down was great.
Off day today and back at it tomorrow.

Run 47
Running Total: 408 K
Daily Stats: 7.15 K, morning, sunny, warm.
Description: Second day of running without a watch. Felt pretty good. Warm up and warm down as usual. Didn't get out the door early enough. Weather has been perfect for the last few days but it is starting to heat up now. Will be running at the coast for the next little while. Really looking forward to that.

Run 46
Running Total: 401 K
Daily Stats: 5K, morning, sunny, warm.
Description: Good warm up and warm down. I timed the warm up and it takes about 15 minutes. About 8 min in to the run I couldn't remember where the timing points where on that particular course. So I just turned off the stop watch. It was quite liberating. Do I really need hard stats from what is really just an easy training run. Sometimes I find myself racing the clock on these supposedly easy runs to try and turn in a better time. Shutting it off took all emphasis on going fast away. It was really nice. From now on I am going to try and do my easy runs without a watch. Should be interesting.

Run 45
Running Total: 396 K
Daily Stats: 8.43 K, 46:49, 5:33 min/k, morning, sunny, mild, No hr data.
Description: Normal warm up and warm down. Didn't even wear the hr strap. Very controlled and easy pace. Felt very good in the second half. Powered up the little hill but wasn't labouring with the breathing. There is definitely something to be said for going out with a reasonable pace. The second half definitely feels better and you can probably build your pace more smoothly.

Run 44
Running Total: 388 K
Daily Stats: 10k, 54:30, 5:27 min/k, morning, partly overcast, cool, avg hr 149
Description: Usual warm up. Hr Monitor was not working properly either way high or way low to start with. Didn't use the alarm. Just tried to stay within my self. Calves were tight even after two day off. Had a five minute section in the second to last bit. That seems weird but I was going pretty well at that point. Maybe I missed some timing point or other. Otherwise my speed was pretty consistent. Felt good by the end and did a pretty good warm down. Need to stretch tonight before going to bed.

Run 43
Running Total: 378 K
Daily Stats: 8.43 K, 46:48, 5:33 min/k, morning, overcast, cool breezy, avg hr 141
Description: Weak warm up and no warm down stretching (for this I will pay, unless I get it in later). Didn't feel all that fast but looking at the times my splits were way down. I didn't use the hr alarm again and am feeling like I can run at a pretty good pace just by judging from my own breathing and feeling. Have to try and get in two runs while we are camping this weekend. Should be interesting.
