3 miles with the JV team. They have a meet tomorrow night so we did not want to work them too hard today. By the time we got back the two varsity runners had not started their speed work so I joined in with them.

600- 1:47 800- 2:40
600- 1:50 400- 68

Cooldown of 2 miles and some stretching. The legs responded pretty well after Saturday's race and the 7 hour car ride yesterday.
Went 6 miles with JV 2miler and other coach. We started fairly easy for two miles then did 2 min on 2 min off fartleks at 6-6:30 pace for about twoish miles. Then finished at a decent pace. Legs felt ok today a little tightness in quads but after the first 2min at faster pace it stretched out and felt good for the rest of the run. Have not gotten many miles in this week, hoping that faster pace will make up for it.
On the car ride home my quad tightened again so I did a mile jog to loosen it up before stretching it out pretty well. Hope it feels good for tomorrow's workout.
Went for a long run with my wife this morning. We were trying to get in 20 miles before the storms hit. However, I slept in so we thought we should cut it down to 14 outside then finish the last 6 on the treadmill. I do not run well on the treadmill. I did another 2 inside and then 6 miles on a bike, for a total of 22 miles this morning. My wife did all six miles on the treadmill and got all twenty in so I am very proud of her for that. I still have not done a twenty mile training run before a marathon, I was really hoping to break that cycle today...
