| | Today was at a ranch with some family - so the course was different than usual. I initially planned on only 12 miles, but got lost on my way back and ended up running for a total of 1:48:00. Given that I did two three-minute pickups at 4:48 effort, and that my base pace was at least 8:00/mile that puts me at 14 miles (minimum). Probably more, but oh well.
My legs didn't feel quite as sore today, so that was good.

| | Today did a workout of 6x400. I was supposed to target 66, but ended up hitting 63 high for most of the intervals - I think my last one was 62.5. Total of 12 miles today.

| | Today did the 6x400 workout again - except this time I actually did 66's instead of 64's. The dfiference was that my legs weren't crazy sore afterwards. Total of 12 with an evening run of 3 miles.

| | First true long run in Texas. Did a total of 16 miles - all in one go. The workout was the same as usual - 6x400 with 400m recovery, targeting 66. Other than a slower first quarter and a faster finish, everything was one pace. Ran almost all the way to the end of the Walnut Creek Trail - discovered more hills :-).

| | Did 9 miles in the morning on the Southern Walnut Creek Trail. The workout today was 6x400 with 200m recovery, targeting 66. I was a little sluggish on the first two intervals, but the rest were on pace - 67.0, 67.7, 66.4, 65.5, 65.4, 64.6. Did 3 more in the evening.

| | Did 16 today - had a friend (Noah) run with me for the first 12. He did the 6x400 workout with me. I was targeting 66 - he ended up doing 69's or 70's as this is his first workout in a while.

| | Today did 8x400, targeting 66's. There ended up being a few 67's and high 66's - my legs were sore and I was feeling sluggish. Total of 12 miles (9 in the morning, 3 in the evening).

| | Attempted another 8x400 workout in the morning - was too sore to crack 70 second quarters, so called it off after a few intervals. Skipped the evening run to recover.

| | Took it easy today to give my legs a chance to recover.

| | Did a two-mile tempo targeting 5:00 pace - ended up with 10:02 (4:57 and 5:05). The distance wasn't exact, as I was relying on mile markers on a trail.

| | Today did 8x400 with one minute rest. The target pace was 66 - I ended up running 66 and 65 for more intervals - so better than a week ago.
