EZ gym run, workouts are too hard to do anything else. I got 10 reps at 405 on the calf press. There were 6 other sets of calf exercises though....

Awesome trail and Murdock canal run with Tony and Bill. Tried to keep up with Zack at the beginning. Ha ha

Hip still feeling slightly twingy but getting better and better.

2 880 intervals on the treadmill to warm up for the trainer. Got 16 reps on the calf machine at 405 in one of the 6 sets.

Progression run on the treadmill, had to drop back to 7.5 for 4 minutes spreadout in the 20s. Really bad cardio fitness, time to get back in the saddle. But I ended with 1 minute at 14.0!

12.0 mile on the treadmill before the brutal 4-way upper leg workout,1 mile limpdown

Seriously, who interleaves planks with high rep machine sets? Ow.

They felt easy, but they were 6:34 average. My fitness is varying all over the place, probably with the muscle groups being targeted in the strength training. I am going to try for 13 on Saturday.

Up to 13 now, feeling OK. Time to start raising the mileage again. Just ran a lap around  town and a little up Hobble Creek canyon

Got a better interval workout, did 11.8 and 12.1 at the mile but was not recovering well so .5 miles at 12.5, then .25 at 14.0 I'll be back soon. No more hip pain, the connectors must be healed!

Legs nuked, did some bike, tried to do uphill sprints on treadmill but could not, weights workout was too strong for it.

First tempo run since SGM, pretty rusty, about 8 seconds per mile slower (and .8 miles shorter) than usual. But not too bad!

Great run with Tony, we fdid the McDonalds-BST loop with no walking on the trail portion. We push each other very well! Then I got another .5 in the evening trying to find out who wandered into our hose for a few moments. Nothing like a quick jog with a baseball bat :)

Almost back! I got my 11.8, 12.1 and 12.5 miles on the TM, and .55 of the 12.8 mile. I think 2% more and I'll be back to peak condition. Next week I think I'll run the turkey run for the VO2max.

Threw in an extra mile on the way home from the gym, I think I am starting to adapt to the weight training.

Good try! Got a PR, but my nephew was chasing me the whole way and passed me at a 4:30 pace in the last quarter. I was only able to hold a 5 flat. 4 seconds isn't bad though. Excellent weather, pretty much everybody except Tony was there. I actually beat Brandon! But he had a cold, so if I give him a minute for that then he beat me by :45 :)

Had to do the long run today so I have energy to help with my son's eagle project tomorrow, we'll be completing the BST on the south of Mapleton. So I ran around Powerhouse. On the way down I saw my friend in a truck so I had to show off and stay ahead of him and now I am paying a little bit for that.
