I was really stressed for time today so I started this run at 9 so I warmed up over to the rec center and did most of it switching between the treadmill and track every 20 minutes. Then cooldown back to my house. Not my ideal place for a long run but this was not a night to go out with just a headlight. I got 'er done.

Gephart alone. My legs are dead from the workout last night. I suppose that's a good thing because it means its changing my body. But man did it suck this morning.

30/30 seconds 2x8 minutes with 5 minute rest in between. Once again this workout killed me but less than last time. I had to do it on the rec center track so there were some very sharp turns and it got very hot. For some reason this workout grinds up the outside of my right foot. It seems like its identifying possible inefficient movements in my stride with that.

Warmup and cooldown for the workout. 29 minutes of warmup. 10 minute cooldown.

Piper Rd. with a big group of guys. I felt really good this run. Meaning the 6:36's we kept laying down felt like jogging. Could be because the run is so flat but still it felt really easy. I tried clearing a bench early in the run but it jumped up at me and skinned my shin.

Easy morning run on the Sunoco loop. This combination of cold and wind is killing me. Also, every workout I do is killing my calves. Good or bad thing? I really have no idea.

Tuesday Negative split. Very windy today so we made sure to go out against the wind and come back with the wind. That made this pace feel much easier. Interesting because I wasn't very tired after this run. This isn't much slower than my races. I dropped the other guys today. I just felt so comfortable that it felt like the right thing to do.

First 30 minutes of the run and last 5 minutes of cooldown. First 30 minutes were very cold and windy.
PS: Talked to Spence and he agreed with my idea and asked me to send him and email to describe my general idea of how I'll train with these workouts.
