Got in 12 miles this morning on an absolutely beautiful April (but more like June) morning, even with the canyon winds.  Ran about 5 solo then joined Kim for her run for nearly another 5 miles, then finished last 2 miles solo again. Took things really easy today as I can still feel some Saturday race aches & pain.

Six miles at work with no watch.  Did 10 x 10s hill sprints toward the end.  I felt really wimpy today in the heat, it was around 75 degrees but felt like 95 to me.

Went out around 7:30a to beat the heat. Had some cloud cover today and a bit breezy. Original plan was for 4 x 1 mile @ 10K pace with 3min jog rests.  But with the race Saturday and feeling a little off the last couple of days I decided to just do 3 x 1 mile. Seems like this was a good move as I wasn't feeling the greatest and the pace felt harder than it should have.  Also noticed my HR maxing out the last 2 miles and it shouldn't really max out at all for this workout.  Hopefully after a couple more days taking it easy I'll feel back to normal.

The 3 fast miles were all around 6:40 pace.

Up bright and early to meet up with the 5:30 run gang. Started out with Kim & I, Chad, Dan & Hal.  Picked up a few other runners a long the way.  Got in about 7.5 with the group then did my own thing the rest of the time while they headed up Harry's.  

Ran a moderate progression run, gradually speeding up and finishing the last 5 miles at MP and HMP.
