am--15.5 Ran from my house out to Barrel Roll and added Sidewinder to it. Nice meditative run. I even hit a 7:30 mile at the end just to make sure that I had it in me.
am--5 Warm-up around the neighborhood. Then I ran 6x1-minute fartleks, at around 6:00 pace, w/ 30-second recovery jog on the grass field at the elementary school. This felt good. Better mentally than physically. I was starting to wonder if I could drop it below 8:00 pace.
am--8 Up and over the Anasazi Trail and back. The morning was beautiful, so the hikers were out. The run felt good. There's a little climbing in this run, about 100 ft. per mile. Not a ton but enough to do some work.
am--10.5 Barrel Roll w/ Sidewinder extension and a bit extra. I saw 5 other trail runners, shoes and all. One even had some gaiters on. This is my third 90-minute run this week. Nice.
