3 Miles of quarter mile repeats on TM at Aqt Center. Speed was 5.7 and then 6 for all the rest and at 1% incline. Recoveries were at 5 and flat.

Mike, the County health director was in his usual place on the elliptical next to me. We chatted about the swine flu and their current efforts to get out the vaccine. We also complained about the felony assault that Florida Gator Mr Spikes committed against another player (eye gouging) and how he got off with a slap on the wrist by coach Urban Meyer (whom I used to respect).

Ran 2 miles in the evening at about 930pm with my teenage son. First time we have run together in about 5 years. He has suddenly become fitness minded and wanted to run with me. We took about 5 one minute walk breaks, but he did a great job for his first run in so long. It was a beautiful mild evening with a full moon so bright that we were casting shadows. What a great way to end the day.

Running fast is funner than running slow!

3 mile Tempo run starting at about 11:50 pm in the pouring rain.

My road out and back to BkrCr. Didn't see a single car. Just me, the rain and a few startled deer. One of the greatest pleasures in life is to run in the pouring rain!

Planned on running 9 but miscalculated the length and ended up with 9.9 (then a 0.1 on my driveway) Ran at about 6pm in the pitch dark. Ghav all the way to almost the Pvine and back. Ate too much before and was pretty uncomfortable for the entire run. Had to tough it out and that just made me feel all the better psychologically at the end.

JD at about 10 am. ran up the hill and out and around the industrial park. Never felt comfortable the entire run. My legs felt heavy and my calves were sore. They improved as the run progressed but have been very sore ever since. 

Have had some kind of mild bug this week which has made me lay low on mileage and cross training. Saturday I will run 8 on the treadmill to give my legs a little more rest.

Most runs feel great. Some don't. This one didn't.

Ran on the TM at the aqt center in the evening. Wanted to give my legs a break from the roads and have a bit of a step back week. The run felt great. I felt very strong throughout and feel great afterwards. Whatever bug I had is gone and I am ready to really hit it hard next week.

Intervals on TM at about 1030pm after getting home from Stk Mtgs. Intervals. Max height of 2%, max speed 5.7. min speed 5.0. It was a pretty stout workout for me. Spent alot of the time thinking about D&C 4 and how it might be used in my talk on Sunday.

JD park at about 930am. 1 easy 2 fast then 2 easy. Ran up the hill and out of the park. Instead of going through the industrial park I ran down past Lon and Lauras and back. Very windy, but not too cold. Felt like spring time weather.

TM intervals at aqt center during lunch. fast:5.7 slow: 5.2 Max elevation: 2. This was still a pretty taxing workout for me. They will get easier with time and consistency. Had a good visit with Mike who was on the TM next to me.

My wife dropped me off 5 miles from the church out towards Yam. Ran into town over the 4 steep hills. I power walked about half of each hill. Passed the Bishop who was running the other direction. There were a ton of runners out around town today, but my country run was pretty quiet and peaceful. It rained fairly hard for the last mile or two and that felt very refreshing.

Pushups 7-10-7. This seems to be the perfect amount (3 times a week) to keep me feeling adequate with my upper body strength.
