perfect spring day for a nice long run started north on 2700 w felt good not much stiffness or fatigue left over from yesterday got to 90th south still at a good pace not too fast did not want to burn up temp starting to climb so i unzipped a little still relaxed and running well turned east up to 500 west and then south on sandy parkway winding around past 106th so through to 123rd south and 240 w turned west can feel the miles now 12 down oly about 4 left concentrating on keeping form and not getting sloppy keep churning . down bu the river trail park starting up the steep side legs start to feel burnt shorten strides but keep same turn over up the hill up to 13th west in the last two miles now breathing hard now but still going got to push on to increase stamina finally up to 27th west again turning south off of the steady incline no the flat last half mile to the top of 122nd now a slow mile to warm down another great rewarding run :)   

warmer spring night with a little mist in the air at the beginning going east on 126th by the time i got to 7th east it was starting to clear giving way to a panorama of starlit sky inspiring me to keep going even if just to enjoy the spring post rain air and awesome night north on 7th east toward 106th south through the construction zone running in the hard packed dirt from the torn up roadway and no sidewalk west on 106th to state street still feeling good not too fast just a comfortable medium pace south on state back to 123rd turning west through the river bottoms keeping the pace and form making sure to finish my strides and keeping tall up the steady climb to 27th west turning for the final mile or so slowing into cool down mode finally using the last 1/4 mi to stretch and walk keeping things loose feeling great   

such a nice night out really just let every thought go and my body and mind went into auto pilot allowing myself to really just enjoy everything the sights and sounds feeling of freedom as i stride through the streets on a magnificent spring night not so much like training tonight but more like plugging into an energy source fully charging both mind and body 

so i decided to try something different today taking my running gear to work with me this morning deciding i would run home after great idea although the first 3 1/2 mi were a little lack luster the rest went really well first part from 22nd so and 37th west south on 3600 west to 5400 south was a bit hilly mostly up hill lol then east downhill to 2700 west up hill to 6200 south downhill to 70th south then leveling out for the most part smooth running out to 12270 south and home not too bad may have to do this a few times a week save some gas too 

feeling fairly frisky tonight started out as usual slow to warm up then turning east on 126th my mind slipped into wander mode and body just took over settling into a little faster pace and just kept going east to state street north to 114th so east to 7th back south to 123rd still keeping strong pace turning west for the homeward stretch keeping the turnover constant steady and finishing each stride west to 27th west turning north and slowing to warm down another amazing spring night 

got out a little later tonight once i got the boys picked up and stopped off at the grocery store it was 9:00 by the time i started but took my time getting a good relaxing recovery run keeping it loose not going too extreme just some good miles to unwind

busy saturday so i got up and went out first thing to get my run in before getting caught up in baseball practices running here and there and all the other goings on today went out feeling so so not really on but got to get it in otherwise i feel bla so heading east on my usual 13.mi route thinking just put good quality work in mind spinning through this and that lots of people on the river park trail just not for me today get up to state street thinking i am slow but feel good south to 114th so east to 7th e back south to 123rd  keep pressing through west to 27th w back to 121st so slowing to warm down get home and discover not as slow as i had thought just in cruise control :)
