It's just that simple

Greenbelt - 59:10

Ran from the DoubleTree upstream and back. Gorgeous day, and I did a bit of a progression run. Miles of 8:04, 7:57, 7:35, 7:30, 7:04, 6:49, and the last 1.2 at 6:27 pace. Did a couple of quick accelerations during the cooldown. This was much tougher than it should have been, but the nice scenery and weather made up for it.

Weights, core and stretching - 15 minutes

A.M. - Treadmill - 20:45

Bad night of sleep with sick kids. Overslept the alarm so just got in 20 minutes of the treadmill at a slow pace.

P.M. - Neighborhoods -29:31

Easy pace in the dark after work. Overall pace of about 7:45/mile.

Treadmill - 20:24

Overslept again and just had time for 20 easy minutes. Felt better than yesterday.

Treadmill - 50:00

Ran an easy 32 minutes, then did 4 x 200m and 2 x 600m pickups. Felt pretty good this evening.

No run

20 minutes weights hard at lunch (upper body only)

Run to gym+ - 54:51

Ran 12 minutes outside, then did 23 minutes on the treadmill (including 6 x 1:00 pickups) and 20 minutes at a steady effort on the elliptical. Really tired - it's been a long week.

1.5 mile wo; 4 x 200, 4 x 600; 1 mile wd

Did a morning workout at the Bishop Kelly track. It was brisk, but nice. The 200s were untimed, and the 600s averaged 2:12. Lower back felt stiff and the mechanics felt way off, but it was actually an improvement from last week doing a couple of 600s. I'll keep trying to slowly progress.
