Treadmill - 20:00
First run in a couple of weeks. Started at 11 min pace and made it down to 9 min pace. Covered a whopping 2.1 miles. So far no pain. Will try to work up slowly and show restraint. Not training for any races in the forseeable future, so no need to get crazy.
Weights - 25 minutes. Fatigued; got tired really quick after a couple of sets. | |

Ran with Conrad after work. First run outside in several weeks. Sunny day out and it was enjoyable, but I am severely out of shape.

Treadmill at Gold's - 25:56
Body is sore. Took a pretty solid fall skate skiing which could be part of it. The rest is just an out of shape body. Average pace of just under 8:40/mile.

Canal Banks + Borah track - 31:04
Ran about a minute per mile faster than yesterday (7:39/mile) but still felt out of synch. Ran in shorts, though, which is a plus.

Good run with Mat from his house. Did 6 x 1+ min pickups during the middle of the run at about 6:05 pace to turn the legs over a bit.

PMII: Polecat Gulch - 52:43
Trails were a little muddy but runable. Had a great late afternoon run with Mat. Did the loop in reverse, which makes it harder. Lots and lots of deer out, including two that were pure white (albino?).

Ran fairly easy on the canals, and did some short hill sprints (8 x 10-15 seconds) on Aurora Hill during the middle of the run.

Treadmill at Gold's - 36:27
I did a little progression run tonight. Miles were approx 8:22, 7:33, 7:08, 6:49 and 6:26. Nothing great, but a little bit faster than I've gone in a few months. So far the body feels good.

Started out at a shuffle and picked it up as I went along, and finished with 6 x 1 min on/1 min off at a decent pace (6:00 min/mile).
