10 easy on the parkway. felt pretty good. a little lingering soreness from saturday, but no pains or aches. success!

my oldest daughter, georgia grey, is three today. it is pretty neat to see her grow and develop an infectious personality.

 

This beautiful lady made @wclissold and me parents three years ago today. Happy birthday Georgia Grey!

10 on tired legs

Met Daniel at HHS and the plan was a 6 mile tempo...somewhere between 6:15 and 6:30. Once we started, I knew it was going to be a good workout. Not because I felt fast, but because my legs were still feeling Saturday and the past two days of 10 each. We ran along 1700 and worked our way south and east until 39th south and 20th east and then back. I had to work for the last two miles. My legs were screaming at me like it was the the end of a race. This workout helped me to make the necessary adjustments in stride and arm swing to endure when the legs really had nothing left. I am really pleased with the effort. I have put more miles on my legs this training cycle and I look forward to seeing how my body performs with some rest and a taper come race day.

ran without a watch. nice to just run and enjoy some solo time.

contemplated what the summer will be like training after ogden. i have some good goals and i look forward to executing a solid plan. but, until then my focus is on may 16th.

3 solo avenues loops. The loop consists of east on 2nd ave, north up Virginia, west on 11th ave, down Memory Grove, and back east on 2nd. In each loop I picked it up for 2.5 miles on 11th and down into the grove. I did this run last year, and it is a test in multiple ways. 

I "like" doing it solo because I more than often end up racing alone in no man's land. It is good to test running long runs alone for me. Next, this route is no joke. 1,500 feet of climb starts to weigh on the legs and then I have to shift to fast downhill. I am super pleased with how it went. I took one gel at mile 12 with some water. My 3x2.5s were faster than planned as well. Now time to rest. Happy Easter weekend everyone!

I also wore Whit's Fitbit for fun and logged 26,189 steps. I think according to the American Heart Association I can lie in bed for the next 36+ hours.
