Drove down to the high school and jogged 25 laps around the track, switching directions every mile. Since this was my first time running in almost 2 weeks, I told myself I'd take it easy, but I ended up running my first 8 laps in 12:55. 7:02 average pace.

Easy miles; I was busy all day, so I wasn't able to start my run until about 11 at night. In the middle of my run, I stopped by the high school and did 13 minutes of core and a little bit of strength stuff on the football field. 8:01 average pace.

I was really sore today so I just ran by feel. Started the run with my pace well above 9 and finished in the mid 7's. I'm not too worried about getting in faster miles yet anyways. 8:07 average pace.

Graduated and got turnt.

I decided to take today fast (bad idea), and I learned that my endurance had dropped like a rock over the past couple weeks. It didn't help that I ran during the hottest part of the day. I went out at around 6:15 pace for the first few miles and felt great, then died. I actually had to stop a couple times, which was very discouraging. 6:34 average pace.

Afterwards, I did 10 very intense minutes of core and a brief strength session.

Much needed long run. Didn't even feel that winded afterwards. 7:12 average pace. I might start doubling next week.
