Little Buddha

Basketball this morning. Easy 4 miles this afternoon, didn't feel very good.

Fun run tonight.  I don't do a lot of trail running, but tonight I headed over to the Rim Trail and did an out and back run.  3 miles out just under 30 minutes, and then 3 miles back about the same maybe a little faster.  It was definitely a good workout going up and down the hills. I can't believe I've lived here now for over 5 years and I've never been up on this trail.  I really need to get out exploring more, especially before all the snakes come out.  That is something I really don't enjoy meeting up with when I'm trail running.  Also, the ankles did pretty good just a couple of tweaks on the run.

Basketball this morning

Did a speed workout tonight 3x1000m @ CV pace with 2:00 minutes rest

Still trying to get in shape and legs a little tired from the trail run yesterday, so not really looking forward to this workout.  Anyway did 2 miles easy warm-up then did the repeats over by the cow field

1-3:35 (5:43 pace) This felt pretty good, but it has been awhile since I've done these so I didn't know if I was going to too fast or slow.

2-3:30 (5:30 pace) This one felt more difficult

3-3:35 (5:43 pace) I struggled on this one. 

I might have been able to have done one more, but didn't really feel like it.  I'm sure with time I'll be able to get this times back down to the mid 3:20's

Finished with 2 mile cool-down

No run today

Ran 8 miles with Bill this afternoon.  We went from the running store out to the Parkway then did the loop back through Green Springs.  It was a nice run.  My ankle was bothering me a little.  I think it is time for new shoes.  My tax refund can't get here soon enough.

10 miles this morning, with Bill, Steve, Mike, Bruce and James.  We did the tempo run loop from the rec center over to Valley View Drive.  Bill took off from the start and Steve went with him.  Mike also ran a little faster.  I hung back with Bruce and James, but still hit a few miles just under 7 minute pace.  I need to lose some weight as I think it would really help my joints, especially my hips.
