Tennis today, in lieu of running. Feet are not accustomed to lateral movement, resulting in two blood blisters - one on each big toe! But my backhand was on! Must be because I didn't run 10+ miles before the match this time.

AM - Easy run to Sea World and back (8:15 pace). Joints (ankles, feet) still feeling the race a bit.

PM - power yoga.

6 p.m. work out with San Diego Track Club in Balboa Park. 20 minute "tempo" run at half marathon pace (7:00). This was a loop in a grassy area of the park. Running half marathon pace through the grass is way harder than on the roads.

Followed by 10 strides of about 200 meters. Legs are feeling those strides.

Then some core workout.

Easy on treadmill after work. Didn't leave the office until neary dark. Finishing up a law review article. Why do I volunteer for these things???

+yoga/foam rolling.

Gym workout - legs/core/plyo/agility with Brandon. It's crazy how at the end of workouts with agility and plyo components, I lose body control and become an uncoordinated mess.

Still sore from the 10 strides on Tuesday. Hip flexors! Don't remember being this sore from a regular workout in ages.

AM - Upper body weights and a little bit of yoga

AM Long run with San Diego Track Club - Harbor Island and Shelter Island. Ran at about a 7:45 average pace, which is faster than normal on long runs. I was still conversational though so I think it was the right pace. Enjoyed running with the group and connecting with some locals.

PM About 90 minutes of tennis. First 60 minutes was pathetic. Last 30 minutes I was on fire!
