Interesting run this morning.  Met up with a friend to do a trail run.  We got a little lost, and then bumped into a group who were about to start a 5 mile train run.  "Sounds good" we say.  We didn't realize how technical it would be, how many stops we'd need to take, and how long we'd be on our feet.  The run took almost an hour and a half, and by the end we were pretty dehydrated.  Fortunately we had supplies back at the car.

 It was good to do something a little different for a change and to work some muscles that don't get used on the roads.

Had to run after work today.  It was HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT....but I just kept the pace easy, headed for shade at every opportunity and tried to stay relaxed.

Core workout today.  Warm up, then drills, core fun (jumpy things, push ups, crunches, steps up, lunges, hoping etc), then long cool down...although I was still pretty warm during the "cool down" hehe.

Long warm up, drills then 2400 meters fast, then 6 x 400 meter relay with 200 jog as recovery, then job back to the base & then onto the gym.  It was another hot & humid morning.  I'd hoped to improve on my 2400 meter time, but I went out too hard and paid the price.  I ended up 2 second slower than last time....8:53.  The good news was that I didn't give in when my legs felt like crap.  I really kicked it on the last 800, but couldn't quiet undo the damage of that fast time.  Third time lucky anyone?

Not the best run.  Waited for a running buddy who overslept so had to run most of this one on my own.  As such I wasn't very motivated, and didn't run this at a good pace.  Oh well...
