Running - Road / Track 27:42 [2] 3.47 mi (7:59 / mi) +70m 7:31 / mi
ahr:137 max:147 slept:6.2 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 1

Ran to Meadowbrook, did three laps of a very simple, rough line-O around the park, ran a few 50m strides on the infield of the track, then ran home. The orienteering and strides are logged separately. My legs felt really good today and just a little tired from the weekend. My stride felt easy and relaxed, and I could easily run at a high turnover.

On the run home, I saw where someone had written "It's Spring" in sidewalk chalk. That made me smile, but then I thought how the weather has been sort of wintry lately. Then I decided the chilly weather now will just make the coming of the mild spring days that much sweeter.

Orienteering (line O) 23:39 intensity: (5:00 @1) + (18:39 @2) ** 2.55 mi (9:16 / mi) +88m 8:23 / mi
ahr:132 max:147 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 1

I thumbed the map and followed a loop route (~0.85 miles) that I ran three times at Meadowbrook. As usual, I had an attention/concentration deficit in the beginning, but I managed to stay in pretty good contact on the second and third loops.

Running - Trail / Grass intervals (synthetic grass) 40 [5] 0.16 mi (4:10 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 1

I ran 5 x 50m fast strides or sprints (with a jogging start and ~110m jogging recovery) on the infield of the Nathan Hale track: 9.3 (55m), 8.1, 7.5, 7.7, 7.5. I overextend my left quadriceps on the last one, and it hurt a bit on the run home.

Man, I'm slow. I was trying to run fast on the last three--not quite all-out, but pretty hard. Gone are the days of running flying 100s in ~12.5 seconds...sigh... Uh-oh, I'm having workout nostalgia. Soft-bellied retirement must be just around the corner.

slept:8.8 weight:166.5lbs (rest day)

Mmmmm...sleep. I had a nice dinner at Mom's place last night. I weighed myself clothed on her scale, and it read 166.5, which makes me think I was probably slightly dehydrated from the long training (although it was cold and I drank enough to need lots of pee stops).

Somehow, the pain in my right heel has gone away over the last few days. I would think that a moderately hard run in O shoes on Saturday followed by a 5.5 hour hilly trek on Sunday wouldn't be therapeutic, so I'm pleasantly surprised.
