AM - easy run with the dog - 2 mi. -16:45

AM2 - 6 mi. hill workout with MP rec. - 40:22

my usually 6 mi. course has 10 hills of approx. same length/grade:

10 reps of going hard up hills ~ 40sec. each rep, each hill ~6% over 200m, with cruising down the flats and downhills at ~MP.  The last hill is 0.3, but about 3-4%.

PM easy 7 mi. w/ 800m hard - 58:26.  45 degrees and sunny - almost spring!  Somebody has marked off a straight/flat stretch of road close to the house at 100m increments up to 1000m.  I couldn't resist the urge to test it out.  A couple miles jog, a couple strides, and 800m in 2:26 - Boo.  After spring marathon this summer, I'm going to really focus on the shorter stuff and get this 800m / 1mi. time respectable... :)

PM - 50 degrees and sunny.  2.35 mi. nice and easy over at trails of the nature preserve by the Harrison Lake C.C..  1 mi. with the hound around the house.  That poor dog loves to run with me even though he is pulling and choking himself the whole way.

PM - easy 10 k w/ 6x100m-200m strides.  55 degrees and sunny.  Spring is here - 60s this weekend.  Feeling good - getting the turn over up and the heart rate really going was good for the ole ticker.  I've been neglecting these short bursts - "striding out"- just something I've forgotten about, I guess... PJ 10 miler on Saturday and then baby time!  And then worry about which marathon I get to run :)  I'm still praying for the healthy baby and Boston option, but I am not holding my breath on that one. 

10k w/ strides today - 44:15

Papa Johns 10 Miler - Louisville, KY, 8am - 45 degrees and sunny.  This course is fun - hilly Iroquois Park portion from mile 2.5 up to about mile 5 and a nasty climb at mile 9, but very fun.  The kind of course that you have to measure your PR for the course, not the distance. 

6:12, 6:08, 6:25, 6:36, 6:19, 6:24, 6:01, 6:21, 6:11, 6:26

10 mi. - 1:03:25
