Legs feel pretty good after yesterday's long run.  Still kept it short and sweet.

Did 2 x .25 during the run and a .75 pickup.  All at 5 min pace.  Felt decent though the .75 was a challenge to maintain the pace.

Lunchtime run.  Did a little workout.

4 miles at 6:30 average pace, then went straight into 4 x .25 with .25 recovery between each.

Average .25 repeat was 72 seconds. Recovery averaged 1:50 per .25.

Need to work on turnover and running more relaxed.  Next time I will cut recovery time down to 1 min between repeats.

6 total miles

Lunchtime jog, nice and easy miles.  Not much to report.

Great afternoon weather.  Feeling pretty good.  Got honked at twice by cars I didn't recognize, don't know if that's good or bad.

Pondered lots on my jog today.  I'm not looking forward to future treadmill runs.  I'm thinking I will ride my bike on the kinetic trainer I have quite a bit this winter.  Maybe start swimming too, I'm a horrible swimmer.  A triathlon may be in the works for next year with running as my top priority.

Spent the afternoon up in Midway with Jing.  My parents have a second home and they're nice enough to let us use it. 

Great place to run, 50 degrees and a little windy. 

Averaged 6:28 for the run.  Hottub afterwards, hard to beat the run / hottub combo.

200 kettlebell swings

300 pushups

Long run didn't happen today thanks a lot snow! I rode the stationary bike for 60 minutes at a hard effort.

Felt like I got a good workout but it's hard for me to get my heart rate nearly as high on the bike as I can running.
