Today did 2x3 miles, down (14:52), up (16:38 - 5:26, 5:35, 5:37). The wind blew down the canyon, so there was a headwind going up. Total of 17 miles.

Tried to repeat the 12x400 workout from last week - my right hamstring tightened up and I wasn't able to hit the target pace of 64 seconds per quarter. Still tried for 4 or 5 intervals, but once the pace dropped to 68 per interval I decided to cancel the workout.

Retried the workout from yesterday - muscles are still tight, so no dice.

It snowed on Saturday, preventing a workout, so I did one today. The workout was 2x4 down the canyon targeting 5:00 pace. I ended up with 19:55 and 19:53. Felt some tightness in the legs (right quad and left hamstring), but was able to push through it and hit the target pace.

Total of 16 miles.

Did 12 in the morning with a 3x1 mile workout. Got 4:43, 4:38, and 4:37. Then added 4 in the afternoon with Jenny - it had progressed from raining to snowing at this point :-(.
