My legs are still tired from Saturday, so I didn't push too hard. It was a warm, windy morning.

Mileage goal this week: 75/ 20 on long run.

3.5 mile warm up to the track. 2 x 3 miles 200 on/off. Fast 200 in 40, recovery in 60. (40/60's: A famous Brian Apell workout.) I hit the fast ones pretty consistently at 40. I was usually 57-58 on recovery. My endurance is better than my speed.

Set 1: 19:48

Set 2: 19:21

Next time I will run a third set.

This is a good way to ease back into track workouts. I was usually in pretty good shape when I could complete this one back in the day!

5ks next week and the week after. Marathon training will not help me out!

Quick jog home for recovery.

It's hot. My legs are tired.

I'm happy to be at the end of a hard training week. My legs have been tired all week long. I was a little short of my goal of 75, but I had Jenny to pull me through to a twenty miler this week. It was tough mentally, today. I'm happy I had a partner. We ran on the river trail, and it was really boring. 7;10 average.

We sent good vibes to Amber Green, who is attempting to hit the OTQ at Grandma's today!

I have to do a 5 mile hike with the church youth this afternoon. I think that makes up for the two missing miles this week.
