A rare morning where neither Becky or I had our kids so we did the elephant rock run. She was still a little worn out from the race yesterday so we got separated halfway to the rock. Overall effort was decent but I didn't kill myself.

Met Tara at the LPT.  We both had a weekend full of home improvement projects so neither one of us were feeling up to any tempo miles.  As usual, the run turned into a progressive run.  Started at 8:15/mile and finished at 7:20/mile for an overall average of 7:45.

I never get allergies but I've been battling them the last few days so I took yesterday off.  Thought I would experiment with running and going to the gym the same morning.  Drove to the LPT and warmed up with a mile then ran 4X1/2 mile at 5k pace with 1/4 mile jog in between.  Splits were: 3:00, 2:57, 2:58, 2:59.  Last one was a struggle but I guess it is supposed to be. Ran 1 mile cool down then drove home, changed my clothes and went to Firehouse.  Fortunatley, today's exercises were focused on strength so I didn't have to kill myself cardiovascularly.  The workout did include 2 runs which I tood relatively easy.

15 miles on the LPT with Tara.  Well, not all of the miles were on the LPT and not all of them were with Tara.  I ran out of gas with 2 miles to go and sent her on her way.  Averaged 8:00/mile for the entire run.  The runs are getting long enough and it is getting warm enough outside that I need to start taking fuel with me.
