Another great spring morning. Ended up doing a "Big Mac" tempo run. In this case the bread (miles 2,4,6) was marathon pace and the meat (miles 3,5) was at threshold pace. These days anything between around 8-8:30 pace I call marathon pace, and 7:30-7:59 is threshold pace. About a minute slower than in days gone by but I'm just happy to be able to run relatively pain free so far this year.

Another big mac tempo run, similar to last week but a bit faster. Lately the morning temps have been perfect for running hope it lasts.

Nice & gentle run. A bit on the warm side but looks like that will be changing later today and through the next week.

Tweaked my back a couple days ago so took it nice and easy. Beautiful morning saw a baby fox dragging a dead pheasant off the trail.

Another gentle day. Did some walking but mostly slow ran the miles. Back seems to be getting better that last couple days.

Up and down Harry's 3 times. So happy that my back seems to be pretty much healed up.
