I don't usually do a long hard effort two days after running a long hard effort, but Tee needed someone to help her on a tempo workout.

4 mile warm up. 3-2-2-1 mile intervals with 3-2-2 minute recovery and quick jog back to the park. Tee wanted 6:40 for the 3-2-2 and 6:30 on the mile. Prett controlled, except I am still sore from Saturday. I was closer to 6:30 pace. We finished with a 6:15 uphill mile. 1.5 mile cooldown.

I'm pretty hammered now. The rest of the week will be getting my legs back before racing a 10k on Saturday.

My long run is done for the week.

Super easy today. I'm so pounded!!

Murray Park run with Tee and Becca. My legs are still tired. Of course, the Strong class I took yesterday may have contributed to my fatigue.

Treadmill miles with 8 x 1 minute pushes. I had The Greatest Showman soundtrack on my ipod. Sometimes it's hard not to break out in song . . .but I think that would scare other people.

Nice late morning run. Beautiful weather. 7:10 average.

A little return to racing. I thought it would be interesting to see what I could do. I haven't done much speed work. But, I have done a lot of tempo work. I'm really comfy between 6:10-6:20. I thought I could break 38. I guessed well.

5:56, 5:58,5:59,6:17,6:10,6:09. You can tell what mile we turned back into the wind. Slight downhill out, slight uphill back. Cold north wind.

Decent return to racing. It was also a good effort after my Saturday/Monday long hard runs. It took most of the week to get feeling better.

3miles warm up. 3 miles cooldown. I set a Master's record by almost four minutes.
