Turn your rut into a groove.

am--7 Pizza Hut warm and cool, sandwiched around 6 x 1000 @ 4:35 average. The workout felt a bit different on the grass, but it will be a race maker as we get to the business end of the season.

pm--3 A run to Harts and some running around the stadium.

RHR--56

am--4 Truncated morning run. Nothing spectacular. 

pm--7 Hot run out in the fields, learning some Japanese and offending people right and left. 

RHR--57

am--5.5 1/1 workout w/ the varsity girls. I hit 14. Kinda mad at myself that I didn't push for 1 more. 

pm--4.5 Greensprings followed by striders, which ended early. My legs were totally dead this afternoon. After I was done running, I had a few bouts of cramping. Drank some Gatorade. 

RHR--NA

pm--7 Skipped the morning run today to see if I could get some pep back in the legs. This afternoon it was a bit cooler than the last few days. That was helpful. But I was still anxious about today's hill run. I felt decent on the way to the hill and pretty good on the 1st rep. The other 2 reps were ok, but I didn't have any extra in reserve. All in all, I'm pleased w/ the run. 

RHR--57

pm--4 Slept in again. The recovery is tougher the older I get. I think the rest paid off. The afternoon run--the pre-meet Sandbergs--was nice. I added a warm-up loop to make it 4. 

RHR--55

pm--7 Got out later because of the early morning bus ride. I did a bit of running at the meet but don't know how much. The kids ran hard. It's always fun to see them put themselves out there for the team. Anyway, I got a run in late tonight. It was a progressive run, starting at ~9:00 min. pace and finishing w/ ~7:00 min. pace. It felt good more than difficult. That's always nice.

RHR--55 Hopefully this comes back down next week.
