6X2 minutes on 1 minute off bracketed by about a mile and a quarter warmup and cooldown - felt pretty good

Left work a few minutes early to try and squeeze in 5 miles before dark and before the big regional semis soccer game at Trav's school.  Success on both counts, but the guys lost - bummer.  Silver lining is that the track team gets an influx of soccer runners on Monday.

Must find a goal race or something to fire up the motivation. Basic goal for now is to drop the 6-8 lbs that I've packed on.  Easy 5 on the usual trails this afternoon then some fishing with Lisa at Lake Hall as the sun set - no nibbles.

Sunset time all the way up to 6:17 today so I took advantage and hit the trails after work.  Ran the 5-mile Lake Jackson loop.  Nice yet steamy February run.

Quick little workout in the neighborhood this morning.  4x2 minutes on and 1 minute off bracketed by a mile before and after. These workouts are starting to make me feel a bit like a runner again.  If Lisa can bail from work early enough, I will tack on another 2-3 miles this eve with her.

Easy 1.5 in the evening around the neighborhood with Lisa.

Ravine trail down to keel over and onto the overstreet loop - ran the overstreet 1.5 right at 7:20 pace feeling pretty good.  Cool light rain falling - always a fave of mine.

Ran same route as yesterday but opposite direction - the tougher direction, and went about a minute faster overall - decent run on a chilly breezy afternoon.

New trail uphill to the ravine trail then north loop and back to the jeep.  Saw my first ever bobcat on the trails - cool/creepy - he at least was more creeped out by me than I of him.  He was considerably bigger than I thought bobcats were - winter fluff maybe.

Chilly drizzly workout on the trails.  Mile warmup then 6X two minutes on and 1 minute off.  Working the "ons" back down closer to 5K pace finally - all were less than 6:30 this time - need that to be 6 flat.

Trails after work - got in 4 easy miles and then felt pretty good so worked the last mile and a half down to 7 flat pace - works for me.

Not to self - 2.5 hrs is not long enough to wait before running after enjoying a plate full of bratworst and fries.  Quite the uncomfortable 4-miler.

OK, ten days is long enough to let the foot and hamstring rest - couldn't take it anymore.  Did a couple easy miles in the neighborhood.  Foot was fine and hammy is just tight from lack of activity - it'll be fine.
