Miles:This week: 0.00 Month: 0.00 Year: 0.00

Total Distance
5.00

Five miles with an added tinman tempo from about mile 2 through 4 (maybe just shy of 4, actually, though part of the tempo was faster than I planned because of downhill). Then a mile cool down and 3x100 striders just to make sure my heart rate got up again and my legs felt some turnover. Legs felt good and loose, but that's probably because I ran in the evening instead of my usual morning. I'm going to try and continue doing that mid-week, since Wednesday is usually the day I get off work a bit earlier and it's nice to be able to sleep in and start the morning relaxed to break up the week. Back to the morning grind tomorrow.

Hey buddy,

Sorry I haven't called yet. Things have been busy. They were giving away donuts on my trail this morning, and it made me think of you and Paul. Hope you're doing well...and I'm sure we'll connect soon.

i'm thinking of doing your relay next year by you. a great excuse to come out for a while. You should buy a house so I have a place to stay.
