Two miles warmup before some track work.  Did several short starts followed by four 50 meter starts from the 200 start line.  Felt strong and fast, but right hammy poking at me a bit on the last couple, so bailed on the rest of the workout (was gonna do 2X300 and 2X500) and just did some easy barefoot striders and then 2 laps on the infield.  Truly gorgeous springlike day at the track.

Lows in the mid 40s, and highs up to mid 60s all week, so should get in some good work.

Ran in the neighborhood since it was dark this morning.  Did 1 mile warmup and then 8X 1 min on, 2 min off - able to do them much smoother and stronger than last week on the trails... but not nearly as fun.  Half-mile cooldown back to the house.

Scale reports that I'm back under 160 after several weeks nudging toward 165 - would like to be at 158 when I toe the line in Gainesville on the 30th, and then 155 by March 4. 

North Loop time trial tomorrow and then track work on Thurs.

Nice lunchtime run with good effort on the North Loop - 4:52 for the 0.8 mile twisty turny uppy downy stretch - was definitely hurting toward the end.  Hands, arms and shoulders are fried from removing 120 square feet of ceramic tile flooring the past 3 nights... sledge hammer, floor scraper, flat nose shovel - big fun.

Excuses excuses excuses...

Was at least able to get in 3 miles in the neighborhood at lunch, in the middle of which I did 2X350 meters at 59 and 58 seconds, with about 3 minutes recovery between.  A fairly flat, straight stretch of road on which I historically have done things like 4X350 at 60 seconds when I was in fairly decent shape, so today was a bit encouraging, although I don't think I could have done two more under 60 today.

More "cross training" this evening during family room remodel.

Supposed to be a bit warmer and less windy tomorrow, so opted to shift the track workout to tomorrow and just do an easy run on the trails today.  Good to clear the mind and loosen the sore body - trying to figure out how to squeeze in about 80 more hours of remodeling work before the Inlaws arrive on Thurs...  I guess they could always sleep in the tent out back.
