Nice run on the treadmill this morning.  I averaged around 8:34/mile this morning.  It was a little warm for my taste though and I ended up feeling pretty sick after finishing up my run. I guess I still need to acclimatize.

Quick treadmill run today.  I wanted to go further, but today it was a matter of time rather than lack of energy.

Quick run on the treadmill.  Averaged 8:34/mile.  I still need to change my hydration schedule here in AZ.  The running is a lot more challenging in the hot weather.  Hopefully next summer, I'll be more adjusted.

Treadmill run.  Biked to school today (4 miles), so I decided to cut the run short so I had something left for class.

Lame run today.  I couldn't get going so I called it off early.

Quick treadmill run.  I meant to go further, but it gave out on me.  That was fine.  I didn't like it very much either.

Today I only had about 10 minutes to run, so I decided I was going to do a quick warm up of a quarter mile then gun it and see how quickly I could actually run a mile.  I ended up running a mile in 6:56.  I'm honestly not sure if I've ever ran a mile that quickly before.  I probably could have gone faster, but I was satisfied with breaking the seven minute barrier.

Pathetic, I know.  This is what happens when you get your school workload doubled.

Best run I've had since moving to Arizona.  I finally decided that I had to make time for a really good run to clear my head.  It felt amazing.
