Speed workout today in the 94 degree Denver heat.  2 miles warmup, 10X800s with 1/4 between, 2 mile cooldown. ten 100m strides.  This is the second track workout since the one last week in a long time and a start to shaking up my training.

7 miles up City Creek at 5:45 pace and back down for a "run date" of 7 more miles.  I didn't think this would be a good workout today but ended up feeling pretty good about it and it was a ton of fun!  We stopped at the gas station after the run for Mt. Dews and hot dogs.  Now that's life!

Late night run today, finished about 11:30 after a long day at work.  I did my first "Thirds" run.  1/3 easy, 1/3 marathon pace, 1/3 half marathon pace.  First time with this workout which I have on my schedule three times in the nextt three weeks.  I wasn't very honest with the pace, just getting a feel for how to run this one, plus shaking off a stretched calf muscle from Saturday and Sunday's speed work.

I hope this one enlarges my left ventrical.

5am workout at the gym today.  1.5 hours of water running.  20 minutes warm up, 50 minutes 90 second repeats at 90% effort, 45 second easy, 20 minute easy.  As hard a run as I have done in a while.  Nice to workout so intense without the pounding.

30 minutes lifting, then joined the Masters swim team workout for an easy 1/2 mile.  That took me 17 minutes.  One of my slowest times ever.  Not a good sign for the bear Lake Triathlon I have in August.
