Ran home 2.25 miles from dropping off my car for an oil change.

Ran 4.3 miles on the way to pick up the car. I stopped by the track and did a few sprints. I'd like to get down under 12 seconds for 100m with trainers on.

Mowed the lawn and then did 8 easy miles. Felt pretty good today, lungs felt a little weak and my legs were sore but my energy level stayed pretty high throughout the run and I felt good. I have a few ideas for what I'll do on Friday, I was thinking I'd do a progression run but we'll see.

Don't seem to be getting faster, but running takes a lot of patience. My Achilles have been acting up a bit this week. I think the multivitamin I've been taking has helped my runs feel better at least at my easy pace. I'm fortunate to be able to enjoy running, the pace and speed don't matter that much. It's a pretty amazing feeling to get out and run.

Easy run, considered going longer but opted for walking with my family. Ideally I'm running both the next 2 days so figured my legs could use a recovery day before a longer run and then track workout.
