Back in Riverside and I had a really good run this morning.  Getting over 6 is a good start to the week.  I went close to 5 around and through campus and then 1.5 in the fivefingers around family housing.  I also did 2 sets of core exercises and 3 x 20 pushups.

After a 1.5 mile warmup, I did 3 x 1 mile repeats in 6:22, 6:26, 6:34.  After each mile, I did about 2/3 mile recovery and then finished with another mile or so in the fivefingers to cool down.  This was a good first speed workout.  I have quite a bit of speed to regain (and then improve on), but it takes a few sessions and continued decent mileage to get that going again.  Today was a good start.

Nice recovery run today.  Around campus, on some fields, threw in some hills, and then about 1.5 in the Fivefingers.  I did some strides at the end just to put a little bit of faster work in.  I also had a good night's sleep and got out a little earlier than I have the last little while, which is a good trend with my teaching through August and then into the fall.

Today was a little bit harder, so I think I'll take tomorrow either off or just really easy.  But I've had a really good week so far and I feel good about where my training is.

I ran some around campus, then to Andulka Park and did some laps around the perimeter, finishing running in the fivefingers.  This was a good finish to a solid week.  I feel good right now.
