PM - Squeezed in 6 miles on the treadmill at lunch between work meetings today.  Will try to head out for a few more this evening after work.  Legs felt very good and rested. 

 

PM - after work - another 6 outside on a pleasant DST shirtless evening.  Legs a bit heavier than earlier today - not sure if I will do a workout tomorrow or Wednesday.

PM - lunchtime workout on the treadmill.  3 x 2 miles with .25 rest.  Did the first one at 6:25 pace, 2nd at 6:18 pace and the 3rd at 6:15 pace.  1 mile warm up and cool down.  Felt really good about this workout.  Pace was manageable and just on the edge for the last one - but still crisp and strong.  Giving ample rest between my quality workouts and having some good base under me has made some of these hard days actually something I am beginning to enjoy more and more. 

 

PM - 4.5 more miles during Delaney's soccer practice.

PM - Lunchtime - easy 6 miles around Feathersound on a warm spring day.

PM - 6 more on the treadmill after work.  Think I was a bit dehydrated from the run earlier in the day - so I stayed inside.

PM - lunchtime - treadmill 7 mile tempo run at about 10 seconds faster than MRP or 6:40 ppm - 1 mile warm up and cool down.  Good workout - very solid, though I was a little fatigued coming into it, so it wasn't an "easy" run by any means. 

 

PM - easy 6.5 miles around my neighborhood on a very pleasant evening.  Body feel really good right now - fit.

PM - 20 miles from my house up through East Lake around the high school and then the back way through Lansbrook and back.  Warm 81 degrees when I started around 5 pm - became a bit dehydrated, and finally had to stop at 16 to buy some water at a 7/11.  Consistent speed, but a bit on the slow side.  Bit of a high mileage week for me.
