Cinco De Mayo Estey-Marton 5/5

Easy run around the two loops. Felt good, a bit quick, but ended up being slow. Not sure if it was the long run yesterday, or I'm just tired. Need more sleep. Did an extra three with family afterwards.

Cinco De Mayo LRDT

Tax-Day Long 4/15

Long run today. Was going to do it tomorrow, but with the dentist appointments tomorrow morning figured it was easier to get it done today. Pretty nice day for it. Calf is a little tight/sore. Not bad, but need to rub it down shake it out.

Not really sure how long the run was. Gmap says 14.8, but some of the times don't add up. Pretty sure the distances through the woods are more direct on the map than in real life... About 900 feet of total elevation gain, not sure about how much elevation change with the ups and downs.

Thanksgiving '12 11/22

Got my long run in today. Left early. Cold. Warmed up a bit by the time I got done, but still cold. Started the run about 15 hours into a fast. Took no food or drink. Felt pretty good in that sense. Tough run this one. Lots of up and down on the way back. Have to work on my form some more. Almost lost it a couple of times going down steep hills in the slick mud. I think it just means more turnover with shorter strides, though I'm not sure how comfortable I am careening down hills...

Brook Rd. was out in two places. The first was more of a skitch along the stream, the second was an actual bridge out that was a bit daunting.

Ankle definitely more sore today. Mostly going downhill. Toes really cold to start, warmed up towards the end.

Independence Day 6x1600

Nice 6x1600 to start the day. CHaD season plan called for 5 or 6. 6 was really easy. Probably could have done a lot more at that pace, even more if I had hit my goal pace... Threshold for VDOT 61 was 5:50, the slowest was 5:46 and after that it was 5:43. Did the first two in my Killkennys but left my socks at home... Blister from 400s decided to blow up again so I did the last four barefoot. Not too bad on the track, but was a little worried the wet track would eat up my feet. Didn't. Got a blood blister on the end of a toe, but no biggy. Want to figure out the heart rate thing, see where it falls.

Father's Day 9.2 6/17

Kicked off the week with my long run. Wore the huraches. Felt pretty good until the end. They got wet and I slipped pretty good going up hill. The elastic kept giving in the heel and it felt like I was going to come out, so I tightened them pretty good. Think I tightened them too much as the webbing between my big toe and the rest on my left foot is pretty sore. Could also be a rock I stepped on and didn't notice. Think the hemp laces might be best...

April Fool's Family Run

Tired from work, but was ready to go. Asked the Little Guy if he wanted to go for a run and he convinced the Wife to come with us. So we ended up doing a short little family run. Not sure how it will play out with miles at the end of the week. I might try to go out on Saturday even for a short little stroller run. See how it all feels.
