Drizzly misty sunday almost spring like a little warmer temps motivating me. Was originally planning on about 8-10 but as i got into my groove it was evedent that would not be near enough soon after starting finding myself soaring physically as well as mentally everything was in tune for a nice longer ish run.Opting for my 114th south route by the time i reached 7th east feeling inspired i decided to conquer the 114th south hill up to 13th east it has been a while since i have been up there. Up i go feeling my legs starting to warm up well getting the burn going  making the turn on 13th east weather breaking a bit getting my legs calmed down for the return trip.Down i go on 123rd through the river bottoms up to 126th and redwood north for the last few miles finished feeling pleased not having gone that route for a while still feeling good  

5.0 am miles warmer out making for a little less bulk carrying out for the morning wake up run went on the harmons loop will be so much nicer once the construction is a little more complete to keep me out of the flow of traffic went at a decent pace great warm up for the day

8.8 pm miles ran my 27th west loop still warmer out decided on a faster pace somewhere between marathon and 10 k pacing feeling very  ambitious stretching out my strides focusing on breathing and timing even with the faster than usual pace managed to keep relaxed and under control finishing my run in about 1:15

5.4 am miles out to bangerter on redwood good warm up pace getting the legs loosened back up after the good burn last night out and back enjoying the morning air

7.0 pm miles went to the gym 7 miles on the track at least it was only 70 laps this time then hit the weights for a bit nice change of pace

5.5 am miles warmish sprinkling raining out for some reason this type of weather just inspires and energizes me to no end feeling great my run went by way too fast wishing i had another hour or three to keep going 

8.5 ran my harmons 13th west route legs feeling very heavy and the cold wind in my face was not helping my motivation nothing like this mornings run but stuck with it not incredibly fast or efficient but i actually feel these type of workouts help as much as the faster more enjoyable ones they serve to test the mental aspects running with fatigue gutting out the tougher miles even when feeling less than my best 

been crazy busy at work not much time at the end of the day to get my evening run in lately lookin like it will be a more of the same through next week managed to get in 13.5 on the track at the gym uuuggghhh 135 laps haha the rewarding part is it was at a faster pace once again felt good to get a decent workout on the track did some weights after trying to get a bit stronger upper body
