Moderate effort today to start off the week.  Felt sluggish at first, but as I warmed into the run I felt better.  No aches or pains, so that is good.

Tempo run was also much faster than last week, hitting a couple of miles near MP.

Easy recovery run late at night.  It was way after hours, but the weather was actually perfect.  It was about 50 degrees with a little breeze.  Felt very relaxed and smooth after feeling sore much of the day.  Recovery time is coming down, so that is really good.

Easy run.  Was going to hit the LRT again, but it was a skating rink so I went back and did BST, which was a mud bog.  Pick your poison I guess.  But hey, at least the snow is melting.

Nice late night 15 miler.  I was going to go with Cody this morning for part of my run (btw, it's super easy to plan runs when you work with your running partner), but I was reminded that I had to help with a high school VEX Robotics tournament that my college VEX team was sponsoring, so I had to bag the run/hike with Cody.  As soon as I got home from that I had to go to work until 9:30 and didn't get out on the run until almost 10.  I didn't feel too spry for the first 7 miles or so, but then things started clicking more and by mile 10 I was feeling really good.  Finished the last mile slow to cool down and made it home before midnight.
