PM - 11 miles easy on a warm Sunday afternoon. 

AM - 3 miles easy before work.  

PM - 8 more on the treadmill at lunch - moderate aerobic effort.

Finally got my lab results regarding ferritin back (test was 2 weeks ago).  After over a year of taking iron supplements - my ferritin is only 32 ng/mL (and was 23 ng/mL)in November 2012).  Was expecting a significant increase after such a consistent supplementation.  Hmm...32 is ok, and I am glad it is higher than before, but from what I have read about endurance athletes, that number is still on the low side.  I take an average of 72 mg of elemental iron spread out from morning to evening each day.  Guess that's just too low of a dosage or I am just not absorbing as much as I thought I would.

PM - lunchtime workout.  5 x mile @ HM pace with .25 rest after a 1.5 mile warm up and same distance for cool down.  First real workout in a month (unless you count the tempo runs I have been doing on Fridays).  AP was 6:35.  Seeing some progress with my fitness and with my weight after the last month of aerobic-building.  Will be curious to see if my recovery is in keeping with that same progress.    

AM - 3 easy miles on a foggy morning.  I have to report to jury duty this morning.  

PM - 9 more on the treadmill at lunch.  Was not picked for the jury (shocker).

Took the day off from running.  Stressful work day.  Only my second day off this year.  Felt like a time for a break.

AM - 5 miles easy before work.

PM - good workout - 3 mile warm-up then 8 miles at MP on the treadmill - with a 2 mile cool down. 

PM - had a really nice 20 miler today.  Left my house and did a loop north to Tarpon and then headed down the Pinellas Trail to downtown Clearwater - then crossed the bridge to the beach and met my wife and daughter and my daughters boyfriend for dinner at sunset at the Palm Pavilion.  Awesome weather - really crowded with spring breakers in town.
