AM: 60 degrees - Playing it safe with the hamstring, still, but seems to be better:

2mi. WU with a slow build up to ~5k pace for mile repeats with 0.25 jog recovery

3x1mi. and 4xstrides- 5:44, 5:41, 5:46.  Hesitant to do the strides - so kept them less intense and short: ~15-20sec. at just below mile pace.

7mi. total - 47:49

PM: 6.5miles/25 minutes on the bike with 10 minutes hard pedaling.

New shoes - Saucony Kinvara 4 - I've been a big fan of every shoe in this series (hint, hint Saucony product test people) and these are no exception.  

PM easy 5mi. around the neighborhood with 6x15-20 sec. strides - these started off at just below mile pace and then worked their way down to some decent paces.  36:30 run - total - this needed to be an easy day.

Did some core and stretching stuff before and after.  A little bit of time on the foam roller, too.

Random thought - I only need to improve my marathon time 6 minutes per year to make the Olympic qualifying standard B in time for the 2020 Olympic Trial Marathon... :)  I'll be 39 years old

This morning's CR 5k got postponed to another day due to weather and flooding.  All I really saw this morning was some light rain...

AM: Random track workout that really just turned in to a buildup into a quarter mile time trail:

3mi.WU w/ strides, Randomness: 0.5mi.-2:18, 0.25mi.-1:06, 0.25mi.-0:57.  The 57 was all out - did a good deal of jogging to recover.  Probably the fastest quarter I have run since high school. Then 1mi. @ 5k effort ~ 6:00 to finish up.

7.15mi. total - 50:25
