Neighborhoods + Canal banks - 20:05

Ran a bit by myself and then did a short jog and some walking with Leo. Legs feel pretty good - just some minor soreness but nothing to worry about.

Weights, core and stretching - 20 minutes. Back to it again!

Greenbelt - 38:03

Nice evening run on the greenbelt. Started at the Orchard Street access, and headed upstream into Julia Davis Park and back. Did some various pickups during the run to turn the legs over (I have zero leg turnover right now, by the way).

Not feeling it tonight. The (relative) heat seemed worse than it was and I was just flat. Better luck tomorrow...

Run to Gold's and back - NT

Pretty easy on the way down and a bit quicker back home. At Gold's, I did some weights, core and drills for about 30 minutes. We'll see if I'm a little bit sore tomorrow.

Rock Garden Loop - 53:40

Great run while scoping out some houses in the foothills. Did a loop around the Rock Garden and then back through the neighborhoods. I felt really strong this evening and was in good spirits. I might even say near "manic" state, but that might be pushing it a little.

Jogged with Leo to BK soccer fields, then did some core, drills, plyos and strengthening work for about 20 minutes. We walked back home, and then I got sidetracked and missed out on my planned 7 miler! Bummer.

Noon - Canal banks - 22:27

Basic run on the canals. Can't complain...

PM - 2 mile wo; 4 x 1200; 1.5 mile wd

Very fatigued this evening. I had a full day today, and walked around holding Dominica for a couple of hours. I wanted to do a workout that I wouldn't bail out on, and one that I could change paces a bit. So I did 4 x 1200 at the BK track cutting down each lap of the 1200s from marathon pace to threshold pace to 5k/vo2 max pace. I accomplished this successfully, with times of 4:31, 4:28, 4:26, and 4:21. My paces were 6:15 for the first laps, 5:55 for the 2nd laps and 5:32 for the 3rd laps. For today, that was good enough.
