Nice 6-miler with Kim in the early morn. Overcast but no wind made for a peaceful run. Everything is feeling pretty good.

9:05/150

Later did 30-min XT at the gym and some core.

Working at home today so Kim and I went out later for a nice-weather 8-miler. We did some fartleking across the universe. My first day trying some faster pace stuff, mostly 6:30-7:30 range. Felt pretty good it was fun to run faster again after a 2 month break. Kim was looking pretty dang strong too.

8:40/156 (nice to see HR starting to get with the program a little bit)

Had planned on just XT today and no running. But it was so nice out when I went to the gym I had to get outside a get a little sunshine and ended up running 1 mile BFOG.  Also did 30 min XT and some core.

Nice morning for a run. Ran 13 with Kim and the SF running dudes. I put all 13 as easy miles for but some reason I really ran out of gas the last 3-4 miles and they weren't so easy. Maybe the mid-week faster running took more out of me than I first thought. Need to remember that when you get to be an old-timer you need to be patient and build up the miles/speed v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y....
