Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

AM

Ran 2 with Griffin and then off to the gym for some repeats. No new snow this morning so I was very tempted to just run outside, but I really wanted to run in shorts. 

I also wanted to wear my HRM because I have been doing this workout towards the end of my weeks, but this week it's the first workout I'm because I'm planning to run a 5k this weekend, but still wanted to fit this workout in somewhere.  My avg. HR was higher than it has been in past weeks, and I think it's because my muscles are tight from the rest day.  Usually I've been running for 3 days already before this type of run so everything is a lot looser. 

Based on today, I think body likes the routine of long run, easy day, tempo, repeats or strides, easy day, easy day w/ plyometrics, day off.  We''l see how consistent I can be with this. : )

Run:

2 miles with Griffin

1.5 miles warm-up,

12 x 200m about 5:20 pace with 400m recovery.  Avg. HR was 161, peak HR was 180.

1.5 miles cool-down

Drills:

2 sets butt-kicks, high-knees, carioca, stiff-leg, 10 forward & backward lunges

Strength:

30 push-ups

Nice workout! There is something to be said for running in shorts. Good luck on your 5K this weekend.
