Rock Creek Park - 42+

Cold late afternoon run from Mom and Dad's house. Ran back and forth with Emily, and did a bunch of drills and also 10 x 10 second sprints - including 3 hill sprints - during the first 30 minutes. Then I did 2 x 1:30 - 1:45 on the roads at a pretty hard pace (5:20s to 5:30s) after that. Good leg speed workout.

South Cole canal banks - 59:38

Day off of work, but went in for a couple of hours so I ran from work. Steady pace on the canals by school. Felt pretty good.

Added a few minutes around home and on the canals, and then did 6 x 10 sec. Borah hills fast. Felt pretty fatigued this afternoon.

1.5 mile warmup; 2 x 15 minute tempo workout; 2 mile warmdown

Ran on the treadmill at Axiom tonight. Got in a decent workout, but it seemed more difficult than I thought. I alternated 3 minutes at 5:56/mile pace and 3 minutes at 6:18/mile pace for 15 minutes, jogged for 3 minutes, then did another 15 minute set. Shins and calves tight, and my foot even fell asleep near the end of the run. That used to be a commonplace occurance for me back in my track days, but hadn't happened for a long time.

Ellyptical + treadmill - 51:20

Pouring rain this afternoon, so I opted for another gym workout. 20 minutes of ellyptical and 31 minutes on the treadmill at a pretty steady pace, quicker at the end. Felt ok. Boring, but a lot better than nothing.

Greenbelt - 1:28

My version of a "big workout." Progression run of 6 miles: 7:32, 7:07, 6:52, 6:25, 6:06, 6:02, then a mile easy, then 5 x 3:00 (5:46/mile average) on the way back home. Good workout and nice afternoon/evening run. Got in a few miles on the dirt trail toward Barber Park and that is always a treat.
