Nice run at 7 p.m. Warm and humid from the rain earlier. Felt great. Ran slow at first and finished with 6 x 20 sec pickups the last 10 minutes.

Kind of sick today but I eased into it and felt better by the end. Did a half mile pickup in 2:59 and a few short, quick accelerations in the last half mile.

Treadmill  at Gold's- 38:02

First run in 9 days. The last 4+ months have been my worst running phase of my life. Today I signed up for the Seattle Rock n Roll half marathon in June (I will be in Seattle for a conference anyway) so maybe I'll start training again.

Today's run was slow, with 6 x 30 sec. pickups at about 6:00/mile.

Only a short time to run today, so I opted for "something is better than nothing." Slow pace again with 2 x 45 sec pickups and 1 x 1:30 pickup.

Did a pseudo-workout today: 5-4-3-2-1-1 min pickups with 2 min recoveries. Pace was pretty easy so it wasn't that rough.

Greenbelt - 1:03

Had a bit of time this morning and got in a good run. I haven't run over an hour in....I don't know how long, but it's been a while. Out in about 7:40 pace, back in about 7:15-7:20. Felt pretty good. Started at Orchard Street and went upstream to the golf course and back.

P.M. - Pushed Nica to Grace Jordan and back for some playground time. 11 minutes of running to pad the total!

Squeezed in a short run to take a break from yard work.

P.M. - Treadmill at Gold's - 39:10

Did some fartlek during the run. Wasn't on my "A" game today for sure. 4 x 3:00 w/ 2:00 recoveries. Pace on pickups was 6:18/mile (slow). Also did a quarter mile at about 5:50/mile. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow.
