17 miles in the morning. 4 miles in the afternoon. This morning was probably the hardest and best workouts I have had in a long time. I met up with Dave and Clyde again (I can't enough of them; especially Clyde's stories!) for a big workout at the DC. We did a 4 mile warmup and then did 4, 3, 2, 1 miles worth of marathon pace with a 2-min. recovery jog in between each set followed by a 2 mile cooldown. Here are my averages for each of the sets: 4-5:22/mile, 3-5:20, 2-5:12, 1-5:08. I felt really good and the legs didn't feel too bad during the run. During the cooldown I could really feel how heavy my legs were. A nice easy 4 miles this afternoon which included a slight breeze. I was beat because I did yardwork all day again today. It was fun because we borrowed a big Bobcat tractor and ripped up dead trees and fences. It was a adult size Tonka truck and I loved it. Big start to the week.
