Every Run is a Great Run!

Another nippy morning, we don't usually see 25-30 degrees in  May. But clear and not too windy so a nice morning for a nice run to start out the week.  Looks like this just might be our last sub-freezing morning until fall or winter.

Ran just under 4 with Kim then did some hills while Kim finished up and did her thing with the WannaRunna5K ladies - who I passed on the last mile - they were doing really good. I was feeling pretty good today as well and finished up the last mile running MP.

Taking a little bit of a rest week. No run today but went to the gym and did 40 min XT and some core work.

Went down to the track to do a drop-down workout with Kim. Temps around 40 about perfect for this workout except for some wind from the West. Plan was for 1, .75, .50, .25 mile intervals starting around Kim's 5K pace and progressively faster. Rests were .25m around 3 minutes or so. Kim had good mojo going despite having back/hip issues thru the night and executed the workout perfectly.  I didn't get split info off the watch but I know the first mile was around 7:25-7:30 and the last quarter was 1:32 (6:08 pace).

After the drop-down ran another mile with Kim then she went to give the WannaRunna ladies a workout and I ran 4 more miles to make it 10 for the day.  I was feeling good at the end so I did the last mile at MP.

Nice and easy recovery run in the morning.  Ran 3 with Kim then 2 more solo. Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

40 min XT + core at the gym just before lunch.

Nice morning for a run today.  A bit windy at times but in the 50's and finished in the sun. Ran with Kim and the SF group, we didn't have very many starting out but picked up a pretty good sized group along the way.  From the getgo for some reason I didn't have much gusto and my HR was pretty high.  Maybe I'm not used to temps above 40's yet. But an enjoyable run nonetheless.
