Canal banks - 24:52

Yard work all day so I was super tired. Should have run earlier. Did a token 3.5 miles at a steady pace, which was better than nothing. Legs are less sore than yesterday (good sign).

1.5 mile wo, 20 minute fartlek, 1.5 mile wd

Super hot today, and I wanted to get in a little workout. I ended up running at a harder effort than planned for the 20 minute fartlek. Did it in the neighborhoods and on the canals. Workout is 2 x 2:00, 1:30, 1:00, :30 with equal recoveries.

2 x 2:00 @ 5:48     Rest @ 7:19

2 x 1:30 @ 5:47     Rest @ 7:13

2 x 1:00 @ 5:29     Rest @ 7:18

2 x :30 @ 5:18       Rest @ 7:22

The "on" segments weren't blazing, but kept the rests quick enough so the total workout is effective.

Canal Banks + neighborhoods - 32:52

Just trying to be consistent and getting back in the habit of running every day. Started easy and worked down to just below 7:00/mile pace. Hot again, but felt pretty good.

PMI: Indian running - 1 easy mile with the team

PM II: Canal banks + neighborhoods - 29:51

Ran right at twilight. Kept the pace easy (7:28/mile) and had a decent run. Allergies are brutal though.

Canal banks - 26:30

Long day today - work, track meet and yard/house work. Squeezed in a short run in the interim. Did a bit of fartlek during the middle of the run, and finished with a five minute jog with Leo. Between the two of us, it's hard to tell who's more out of shape.

Track practice + canal banks

Did a warmup, drills and accelerations before pacing some of the team in some intervals at Borah. Did 1 x 400 (68), 3 x 150 fast, and 1 x 450 (74). After that I did a short warmdown with the team, changed shoes and ran for about 28 minutes on the canals.

This was a blast being able to run "fast" on the track. It's been a while and I really enjoyed it. Calves will be toast tomorrow from the Puma flats.

Planned a long run today, but only had time for a short one. Calves were pretty sore from wearing the flats yesterday. I guess that stands to reason since it's the first time since October since I've worn them.

Also hiked at Table Rock with Karl and the boys.
