am--12.25 I've decided that I'll run upon waking this week. I got out a little after 7 today and went for a nice run on the usual morning route. When I got home, my buddy queried about a trail run. It's hard to pass up a chance to get out w/ him because the running and chatter are incomparable. So I quickly mowed the lawn and headed out again w/ about an hour between runs. Not sure how the body takes it all in--a long run or two shorter runs--but it actually felt good to beat up the legs a bit.
pm--5.25 Slept in and didn't get out until later. The legs felt really flat, probably from yesterday's mileage, and the headwind for the first half of the run didn't help. Just kept trucking. I got some new kicks and gave them a whirl. Light and soft. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
am--6.5 Extended Green Valley loop like last Friday, but today was way harder. I felt like I had just tempoed the whole thing when I finished. Maybe I should have backed off a bit the last 2 days. I chose not to because we are headed to the left coast to catch some baseball and other things. We'll be a game away from watching Kershaw. Bummer.
