prlmanrunning

started with 4 mi treadmill in the morning still a little stiff from the speed work yesterday got good and loosened up then off to the ball park for a softball game beautiful warm day for a change yay then goofed off with my boys before having to drop them off started tinkering with my bike getting it ready to start riding it to work and back a bit took it out for a nice 10 mi ride relaxed for a while then another 4 mi treadmill before getting ready for bed have to start getting my swim on soon get some tri training 

decided to take advantage of the great energy in the air and get some longer miles in not pressed for time just out to enjoy the night and the chance to relax taking in all there is around noticing the smell of lilacs and all different kinds of different foliage plants all coming out of their winter hibernation and beginning the spring ritual inspiring me to feel the same way waking up and feeling so alive :)

Not real motivated not for lack of wanting to run but just bla deciding not to venture into the rain opted for the treadmill and some recovery my concentration level and focus just were not there making it difficult to get into any sort of groove so i changed pace and incline every so often to keep it from getting too monotonous still managing to get some work in actually the changing up speeds was good to let me gage the different feel with my strides and cadence

trying out some new shoes tonight gel kinsei 2 set out at about marathon pace no watch like always but felt strong and really enjoying myself the shoes feeling decent  still need to loosen up a bit though get the soles flexing all in all a great night for some speed and distance together feeling great

with getting such a late start (930 pm ) was thinking a quick workout to unwind  once outside and starting into my run thinking about 10 k pace off i went my mind turning loose and body going into"machine mode " lol  heading north on redwood from 119th to 104th south with an increasing pace not sure quite what to think actually not thinking much just go with it west on 104th to 2700 w then south finding myself stretching out even more i think it was a little downhill but still at the faster pace mind wandering next i recall at 134th south turning east to redwood again still at the same pace but not too tired yet more invigorated than anything finally reaching 114th south turning and slowing back to 119th what a pleasant rewarding night it was :)

got out early tonight to try and beat the rain started out a bit sluggish at first plus getting a few sprinkles here and there by the time i hit 104th and 27th west it was a little more than the occasional drop here and there but i was loosening up nicely geeting into the groove once i got almost to 114th south the rain had almost stopped but it was still windy not my fav lol keeping the feet churning back around to 126th and redwood north on the last leg feeling the mileage in the legs but still upbeat finished with a warm down and stretches good times
