PM: 1 hr. pool run

Didn't feel too bad this morning but was a little tired at the beginning of the run. I'm guessing that has a lot to do with the fact that I ran a big mileage week with solid workouts this past week. Training is going really well three weeks in. Need to stay a little vigilant on my diet. However, I've not had any alcohol in nearly 3 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good. Might have a beer or two (that's it) today though.

taking it a little easier today. Last week was the biggest volume/intensity week I've had in awhile. I feel fine, just a little tired. Very warm and relaxing today

PM: 4.5 miles easy

Inspired by Rob de Castella's hill workout, this one was a great combo workout. I can tell it's great for building strength and stamina. It's also great to throw in a different stimulus than the same old same old workouts I've been doing for years. 3 mile tempo in 16:07 then a jog to the hill which includes a 1:05 fast climb, jog, then a fast 18 sec. down hill stride, jog 30 sec and do it again. Great workout
