| 5 miles in 39:26, 7:53/mi, HR 162. Sunny and breezy (73F). Glutes and hip flexors sore, but loosened up well. Focused on keeping things easy today and was pretty successful. Felt so good that 1/4 mile from the finish I picked it up for a fast finish. Myrtl routine and stretching afterwards, followed up with some yardwork.

| Cross-training day. Legs feeling pretty tired and still sore in spots. 16 cycling miles in 59:32, 3:43/mi, HR 147. Focused on keeping the effort easy the first several miles, then wound up pushing things a bit like normal. A bit slower than last Thursday on the same route, but pretty close and with perhaps a smidge less effort. Sunny and warm (81F), destined to get hot tomorrow. Core workout and stretching afterwards.

| 5 miles in 39:44, 7:56/mi, HR 166. Sunny and hot (82F). LM/LL warmup, easy run with 12 accelerations, 6 uphill, 3 flat, 3 downhill, 1 mi cooldown walk w/ dogs, Myrtl routine, then stretching. Legs a bit tired still and the heat didn't help matters, but kept the effort easy throughout, aside from the accelerations. |

5 miles in 39:03, 7:48/mi, HR 165. Sunny and warm (74F). Legs tired and a bit sore in spots, but warrmed up well with LM/LL. Followed up with 1+ mi walk with the dogs, McMillan core routine #2 (first time), and stretching. My Garmin 405 turned 1 a few days ago, so its fitting that it was completely dead when I grabbed it to head out today. No lights/power/nothing, despite being on it's charger. Fortunately, my 305 didn't need charged too much to function as a backup, since my normal backup watch was also completely dead (leading me to think an EMP had been set off over my house for a few minutes....fortunately, swapping batteries on the watch worked wonders). The bad news is the 405 is out of warranty, but the good news is that I bought it at REI for just this reason....their 100% guarantee. Actually, the salesperson talked me into the whole purchase citing this as an example of why I should buy stuff at REI, so I've no guilt in exchanging it for a new one after 1+ years use. Especially since it sat on my desk for nearly 5 months while I was out with an injury. Garmin makes neat stuff, but their quality isn't the best...

| 5 miles in 39:40, 7:56/mi, HR 156. Overcast and cool (62F). In other words, wonderful running weather. Things felt easy, aside from some right shin pain. Warmed up with LM/LL, ran, cooldown walk 1+ miles w/ dogs, leg circuit, Myrtl routine, stretching. |

| 5 miles in 39:14, 7:50/mi, HR 167. Sunny and warm (73F). LM/LL warmup, 12 accelerations (6 uphill, 3 flat, 3 downhill) + fast finish, 1+ mi cooldown walk with dogs, and some light stretching. Decided to skip the core workout today....everyone deserves a break, right? But that's not the most remarkable thing about today's run. Somehow, I was Mr. Consistent. My garmin splits were 8:07.71, 8:07.87, 7:59.32, 7:29.63, 7:29.83 on my 2.5 mile out and back course. How in the world did I manage that??? |
