Today was my first real run in a long time. I've been doing a lot of core or running with the girls, so naturally, my running ability was down and today sucked. Mile warmup with dynamics. Six mile run. I tried to go fast, I really did. 6:45 average for the first three miles. These were uphill and it burnt me out. The next three were 7:30 average, and sucked. My legs felt fine the whole time, except a little knee pain still sticking around. What killed me was my currently weak cardiovascular endurance. Half mile barefoot cool down. I definitely need to work harder

Little late on the post today, but whatever. Mile warmup, 4xmile repeats. Splits were 5:43, 6:13, 6:23, and 5:52. Really disappointed with my performance today. Mile cooldown and stretches. I'm putting this in almost twelve hours after the workout, and I am dang sore. I need to workout more. So I can have a strong core. Like Thor.

Afternoon-5 mile hike w/fam. Ran about two miles of it, felt pretty good, knee wasn't a problem at all

Evening-Light in the dark 5k. Mile warmup. First race in a while, from felt good, but I'm not in shape, particularly mental shape. I held a lot back and didn't go as fast as I could have on the second and third miles. My watch had it at 5:43, 6:12, 5:59. 18:10 was the official time. Nathan hauled and took first. Mason said he was way out of shape and would quickly fall behind, but I didn't buy it. I was correct I'm not buying it. After about 1.25 miles he pulled ahead, leaving me in third. Soon there were large gaps in front of and behind me, so there was no pressure, so I settled, rather than competing. All in all not horrible for off-season, would have liked to be in the mid 17's though
