Age is just a number.

No holiday for this kid today.  Went home after work and took a quick snooze then hit the road for 13 miles total. Out at 7/-7:30 pace then coming home at 6/min pace.  Intensity at 70-80% mhr with brief periods at 85% or so.   Came back with the last 4 at 6:10, 5:48, 5:42 and 5:33.  Stretching after for 10 minutes mainly on the hams and  IT area.   A little slow at first but very light, quick turnover with the legs toward the end.  The end of the run is actually much easier than the warmup now.  Very strange..

Out and back up to 20th east and the school.

Easy to medium effort for 8 miles up to the hospital.   Out and back in 50:32.  Work today so no speed workout.  

Weight-138 lbs average for 7 days.  RP-40 bpm.

Fartlek run this afternoon and a PR for the course with 46:08 for 8 miles.  7th and 13th east up past Cafe Rio and back around to home. with rolling hills.   Last 4 miles of fartlek in 22:07.   Felt very strong today again for some reason.    10 miles total for today.

Feeling sick today from lack of sleep again this week I suppose.   Cut the recovery run down to 4 miles at 7:30-8/min/mile.   7th east out and back.   Went to bed early tonight.

AM-Slept 12 hrs last night!   Must have really needed it I guess.   Felt better today but a little dragged down by hay fever or a cold I'm not sure. No worries, after Wedenesdays run I feel really confident my fitness level is the best it has been in a while.  Easy 12 miles at 7:30-6:30/mile up and back to Dimple Dell road and Bell Canyon.

PM-Easy 4 miles on 7th east. 7-7:30/mile.

Not as many miles this week but what I did manage to get in were decent.  Headed out the door after work this afternoon and got rolling hoping to get in a long run.  The body was having none of it unfortunately,not enough sleep over time.  I have been making up for it on days off by just crashing and not waking up until almost noon!  But that does not work all that well either. Like the old saying goes;  Beds make champions as much as miles do... So I  packed it up at 10 miles and decided after a decent night of sleep maybe I could sneak out before church and get one in.   10 miles total. 6:30-7:30/mile.  Creek road and 13th east loop.
