Run Derneld, Run!

6 easy miles at lunch time. 5 easy miles pushing Ellie this evening.

6.05 miles at lunch time - 6x20 second strides

Strength training after work
 

6.32 miles at lunch time - 3x5minutes at LT with 1 minute jogs. 3x3minutes at VO2max with 2 minute jogs. 2x400meters at mile pace with 3 minute very easy jogs. I was hoping to do three 400s, but apparently 6 miles/50 minutes is not enough time for all of that. This was the hardest I've pushed myself in awhile. It was grueling but also fun to work really hard like that. One month and one day until Bryce Canyon. 

5.01 easy miles with Ellie in the stroller. It was hot today, I was ready to go back inside.

4.91 miles at lunch time. Nothing in the afternoon except a fun date and a big ice cream cone.

90 minutes easy in the early AM. Felt pretty good, except for a weird twinge in my lower back in the last 0.5ish. Hopefully nothing. 10.29 miles

Ran across the neighborhood as a warmup for a test run on a treadmill that someone is selling. I decided to buy it. It's about a year old and looks unused. They are moving on Monday and trying to sell it quick (i.e. for a bargain). Score! 1.82 miles

3.51 easy miles with a few quick bouts to stay fresh for tomorrow's test. 

Treadmill workout/fitness test: 15 miles at marathon pace (7:42/mi) speeding up to LT pace for the last mile. Loving the new treadmill, but I think I'll run outside while the good weather lasts.
