I skied hard with Cade all day Saturday so I wasn't sure how my legs would feel this morning.  I had a few little tight muscles but overall felt good.

7 miles with 5 x 5 minutes fast. On the last one I bailed after 4 minutes.

1 mile warm up. 1 mile hill sprints. 4 miles cool down.

By the last hill sprint I'm still ready to collapse, but I seem to be recovering quicker as I do these more.

5 miles recovery.

So I was wearing my Nike Pegasus shoes this morning which have over 650 miles on them.  I was inspecting the soles of them looking for wear patterns and the sole and it is like they are new.  I don't know what Nike used on these soles. I've never put this many miles on a pair of shoes before but it is like they are indestructable.

17 miles 

not one of my better runs. I ran out of gas and everything started aching, even my shoulders about 13 miles in so I cut a few miles off the planned run and ended at 17.

7 miles with 3 x 1 mile at 6:00 then 2 x 1/2 mile at same pace.

I've been working up to doing 5 x 1 mile at 6:00 pace.  I'm getting close.  If I can do it I will pronounce myself back and ready to run the Havasu Half on April 4th.

15 miles. Felt much better than last weeks long run although something felt off in my left leg during the 14th mile so I walked for about half mile and then ran the 15th mile feeling fine. I'm not sure what it was, but as I become an older and wiser runner I'm more cautious with things that don't feel quite right.
