South Fork Rd. - 38:33

With Travis. It was pretty warm at 10:45 am and neither one of us was feeling that great. Good to get a run in though.

Biked the neighborhoods for about 30 minutes

20 minutes circuit - basically light weights and core. Example: crunches, planks, reverse crunches, donkey kicks, knee circles, leg swings, curls, db squats, lying chest press, calf raises, back exercises, etc. Anything that doesn't hurt the shoulder. No rest between sets. At least 12 reps of everything -up to 25 for core stuff.

BK track - 29:48

Jog to the track and back, then did 4 x 200 and 3 x 300 with equal jog recoveries.

200s: averaged 43.3 (5:48/mile); 300s: averaged 1:07.3 (5:59/mile).

Actually felt nice to do some basic work at sub 6 pace.
