Early run. 8 Mile WU then intervals. 6x3 min with 2  min active recoveries. Nice working in the low 40's. I was on the struggle bus with pacing but decent effort. Log days at work.

Simply near perfect running weather. 44º at the start and 56º at the end. All kinds of things going on out at the parks and bike bath. Adopt a park was going on so many people were cleaning up. There was a hospital 5/10k going on. I went  by when the annouced the winner. I think I could have beaten that time. Maybe I should look into that next year :) :p 

Overall nice day. 17 miles with 3 at HMP.

High 30's/low 40's and rainy for the run. It has been a very hard week at work which usually does not effect me- but this time it did. Today parts of the bike path were flooded which kept the run interesting. Did some every other MP miles on the back end of the run. Some hills kept it tough.  Hope everyone has a great Easter!

A bit of the classic. 8.5 WU and then intervals. 6x3min with 2 min active recoveries. Got the turnover I needed. Beat after the run, but that is the purpose. Nice cool morning. Work has been an issue.
