Notes OBJECTIVE
12M w/6x1M @7:36 & 1 min. active recoveries

Except for a "niggling" left hamstring, this was almost a perfect workout! I felt good in the cool morning temperatures even with a northeasterly wind over the duration of the run. My mile repeats reflect a bit of overexuburance:

7:28
7:20
7:15
7:15
7:14
6:58

Obviously not very disciplined or consistent but ... obviously feeling pretty darn good.

Notes OBJECTIVE
8M w/8x30" @6:55

For some reason I was expecting it to be cooler weather this morning. It wasn't. Had a good run once I got loosened up. Seemed to take longer than usual for some reason.

Thirty second bursts mid-run were faster than they needed to be but I only felt like I was overexerting a couple times.

Beautiful morning and a good group to run with. I did not execute the on/off of this run very well. I was loosely able to follow but some of the fast miles were too slow and visa versa. Captured the general idea though. Felt pretty good throughout and after finishing.

8M w/8x20" @ 6:33

Felt really, really good out there today. This was one of those runs we're always looking for but only comes on rare occasion and, like some endangered species, it's difficult to even know what to attribute it to. I'm learning not to question; only to say, "Had I not run today, it would have never happened."

First of the midweek "Big Workouts" for this cycle. Wasn't sure I was ready for it. But it turned out okay. The mid-run intervals were fine. They stretched me ... slightly ... but were very manageable in the context of throwing them into a long run. The next time a similar workout comes up, I think I'll push the intervals out later in the run. I think rolling into these after 4 miles was a little early and made the last quarter of the run seem longer and tougher than it needed to. Or maybe that was just the distance itself without the benefit of training partners ...?

Glad it's done.

Cool temps felt good. Humidity amplified the cool morning air. Left hamstring felt a bit tweaked at the outset but wasn't in issue once moving.

Inspired by watching the NYC marathon yesterday. Amazed by the elite runners' performances under difficult conditions. The winds were gusting between 20-25 mph and were in the runners' faces over 20 miles of the course.

16M Alternator

Average pace 08:20 min/mi Max. pace 04:32 min/mi
Weather Sunny; 51.5 °F
Notes OBJECTIVE
16M alternating between 9:00 mile & 7:59 mile

With the turn of the calendar, cool temperatures came to Houston and it was awesome for this morning's run. I did a pretty good job of alternating my pace each mile. It's good for training but not so great for socializing during the run! Hopefully the group understands. This run felt very manageable throughout. I'm sure the pace management helped a lot.

Probably not the smartest thing but went out for a recovery/make-up run only a couple hours after finishing my morning run. Rode with P to Collins Park. Looped around Collins then over to Meyer Park then back home.

Got word from work that the network is down and it's a "work from home" day. I appreciate having the flexibility and ditching the 70 minutes of commuting time today!

Interesting. Late last week, as well as during and after Saturday's long run, I had pretty much convinced myself that I had recovered from St. George. Today's run was proof that have not. General soreness in my legs. I surmise it's from microtears redone during Saturday's run. I highly doubt it's anything to worry about; simply a reminder to be careful during the coming week and error on the side of caution.

Borrowing Josh's footpod which syncd to my Garmin without much trouble. I'm not sure it's calibrated properly yet. Need to do some reading to make sure calibration is correct.

Beautiful morning for a run. Enjoyed getting back together with the Saturday group. Felt good. Had visions of a hard push at the end because I was feeling good but resisted. It can wait for another day.

In other news, I got my heart rate monitor chest strap back up and running after today's run. Also, Josh lent me his footpod. I'm not sure yet if it will sync with my Garmin or not but I'm looking forward to trying.

Slowly but surely legs are coming back to me. Yesterday felt good. Today I could feel yesterday's run still on my legs. Damage from St. George's steep downhills is still being repaired but every day is progress. Just need to be patient for now.
