Greenbelt - 1:03

Felt really good about this run. Considering the path was snowy and slushy in most places and I haven't been able to run hard in 2 weeks, this was a strong effort. Did a 7 mile progression run in 7:27, 6:58, 6:48, 6:35, 6:13, 6:05 and 6:00. Then did 3 x 2 min pickups at about 5:40 pace during the last 2.5 miles. Hamstring felt really good (90-95%) which is encouraging.

Run to Gold's + treadmill - 49:14

Easy run to the gym, then did 5 miles on the treadmill with 4 x .25 mile pickups at marathon pace (6:25) and 4 x .25 mile pickups at LT pace (6:00). Felt pretty good tonight. Hamstrings just a little sore, but definitely manageable.

Treadmill - 47:55

Ran at 11 p.m. I have been tearing out the kitchen floor and other such duties the past 2 days. No run yesterday. Oh well, it had to be done by a deadline.

The run was ok. I did 6 x 1 min marathon pace (6:25) pickups and 6 x 1 min LT (6:00) pickups to add some variety to the run.

Cassia Park + South - 1:04

Ran from my house to Cassia Park and measured a lap or two with the Garmin (.48m). Then ran to South and measured our jr high team's 1 mile time trial course (.95m - no wonder it was fast). The ground was partially dry, but slushy in places as well. Decent run. Will do a tempo tomorrow and a long run Saturday.

Ran from my house down to the greenbelt and did this LT workout. Averaged 5:55 pace for the workout which I was happy with. On the warmup and warmdown I could feel my hamstring a little, but it felt ok during the workout.

A.M.- Neighborhoods + canal banks - 31:34

Woke up to a sunny, warm day. Took a very easy jog with Leo and finished a little bit on my own. Either he is out of shape or getting too old to run (or both). He was really dragging on this run.

P.M. - Greenbelt - 37:55

Another relaxed run, but a bit harder than this morning. Averaged about 7:05 pace and had an enjoyable run on a great afternoon.
