Rode my bike home after working 24hours yesterday. I got to say it felt really good until the last 15 minutes. My back started hurting I think I might have been carrying too much in my backpack. It is downhill going home and there was a tailwind so I felt really fast. MY average speed was 17.6 mph.

After i got home I wanted to run so i went out for 4 miles. I felt remarkably good. at first my legs felt a little weird. I just kept going and when I looked down at my watch at about 0.5 miles I was at 7:30 pace. Not sure how i was going so fast maybe my legs were just used to going faster than usual. AP 7:27

Did the 3 mile 1 fast/1less fast workout. Felt much better than last week. I think the altitude, and having others to do it with contributed to this. My Average pace was 6:51 Fast pace: 6:32. Less Fast Pace: 7:09.

Workout w/ the Grinders. We did 2 sets of 5x300m hill sprints followed by 1.55M tempo. I was supposed to do the Hills at 75s and the Tempo was 6:55 pace. I was pretty much able to hold to that for the first set. The second set i did well on the hills but the tempo run I was about 10 seconds slow and had to cut out the last 0.55 miles because I was going to be late for work. Splits were: Hills 74, 76, 75, 74, 76 Tempo: 10:57 (6:56). 2nd Set: 74, 76, 75, 76, 76 Tempo: 7:08 for 1 mile.
