Lunch - 6.0 miles outside. I did Lunch Run Pats Run backwards today to change things up a bit, plus due to timing of stoplights. Felt very good during the entire run, legs had their "pop" back, and as a result, I ran faster than I realized (I forgot my Garmin at home today). Average pace today was 7:26/mile, but it felt much easier. I hope that means I am seeing gains in fitness. On a side note, I started taking fish oil pills last Friday, and without making any other changes in my exercise routine, my right hip has calmed down significantly. My wife had told me that omega-3's were a natural anti-inflammatory, which seems to be true based on my own experience. I will have to do some more research on this, although due to the other benefits of getting enough omega-3 fatty acids, I don't think I will be stopping this anytime soon. PM - ran with the boys. 1.5 miles with Samuel - he set another personal record today - 9:24/mile for the run! That is 3 consecutive personal records, I believe. I told him today that I think he is beginning to understand what his body is capable of. I also told him that when he breaks 9:00/mile for the entire run, Lybi and I will take him out to dinner. Ran 0.65 with Joey in 10:20 average pace, then 0.15 with Adam in 12:00 pace. Afterwards, took the boys out to get the smoothies they earned yesterday.
