Got the run done just before lunch.  Quite the blustery unsettled day, got a little bit of every thing weather-wise during the run.  Ran 3 with Kim then 8 more solo.  Did a mild progression run with last 20 minutes in the MP range.

Six miles at work.  Felt sluggish at first but felt better as the run progressed.  Did 8 x 10s hill sprints toward the end.

Nice sunny day today probably around 60 degrees.  Went out with Kim around 11am, did just over 3 with her, then did some hill repeats - 8 x 60s @ 5K effort, then finished up with about 3 more miles with Kim.

We got wild & crazy today and deviated from the typical late morning run routine and went out in the early morning instead.  Ran 2 or 3 with Kim then she did some on her own and went to work with her WannaRunna5K gang while I did a track workout.  

My plan was for 2 x 15 min @ just faster than HMP with 5 min jog in between.  But sometimes things don't go as planned and that was the case today.  I need to remember to ease off the pace a bit in the early morning compared to later in the day to achieve the same workout.  I did the first 15 min too fast and I think the canyon wind got to me as well.  Ran out of gas on the 2nd repeat and had some GI distress and cut it short just over 10 min.  Oh well still better than nothing.  All faster miles between 6:45-7:00 min/mile pace.

Easy recovery run on a warm but breezy morning to finish out March.  Ran mostly with Kim, Doug and Alan for not quite 8 miles before I headed home and they finished up their 16-18 milers.  Got in 1 mile with Rui dog.
