Trails!

AM: 6 miles at 8 min pace.  The calves are sore but manageable.  The problem was the waves of back pain I was experiencing.  It would stop me dead in my tracks.  My back didn't hurt yesterday.  Maybe I just slept on it weird.  I will see if it gets better tonight.  I will likely head out for more tonight with the kids.

PM: 5.5 with the kids.  We headed out to Blackhawk park via planet walk.  I even let them play. 

Tuesday night ride - 

Joined the Bike Club for their standard tuesday night ride.  I kept the effort moderate this time instead of hammering.  Great ride. 

T- 2:30:00 (21mph)

8 miles into Providence - Boring

Big Workout - 

Unfortunately, I failed to charge the garmin so a mile (7:10 for mile 1) into my run, it quit on me.  Therefore, the tempo run turned into a tempo by feel run rather than a kill myself to hit a certain split run.  That was probably a good idea since I didn't feel too hot out there today.  I ended up running the Young Ward extended via Landfill Loop. 

Providence River Heights Loop.  I was amazed to feel halfway decent for a Friday.  I will take it.

Long Run

I joined Paul for a long run on the TOU course today.  We ran over to the finish line and then ran the course back 10 miles then turned around  back to the finish.  Good solid pace.  We picked it up at the end to some 6:20 - 6:30 miles.  MP for me.
