| First Gazelle workout in 5 months. I felt good to be back, but I could feel how much speed I'd lost. It was a tough workout to come back to...the dreaded 2400 meter test. I had no particular goals in mind, and I also forgot my watch and ended up in between groups. As such, I can only guestimate my time...I'd say it was about 9:30, but it could have been slower (and unlikely to have been faster). After that we did 12 x 200 meters hard, with 100 meter jog as a recovery. I then went the long way back to RunTex, and then onto the gym, which accounts for the high mileage. |

| Epic trail run on the Green Belt. The goal was to get as close to the infamous "hill of life" as possible, and then head back to base. The good news is that despite a minor fall and two water crossings that were almost up to my chest we made it all the way to/from the Hill of Life. I then had to add a little extra as I had to go to a pre-designated rendezvous to meet my wife and get a ride home. (As I write this my calves a little stiff, but too bad all things considered). |

| Attended the Boston vigil organized by David/Derhammer, and a couple of the Gazelle running coaches. Ended up walking the 3 mile loop with David. It was good to catch up, and hear about his experiences in Boston. Also got to chat and catch up with some other members of the running group that I hadn't seen for a while. It was a good reminder of why I enjoy the running community so much, and the strength of that community in the face of adversity. I decided to top things off by running home. Just as I was about to start my run a fellow Gazelle gave me a glow stick. I ran with that the whole way home...and its still shining! |

| 20 minute warm up, then 15 x 400 meters with 1 minute recovery in between. I went out with the 1:30 group. While no records were set, I was pleased that I held the pace the whole way through. Alas I wasn't able to "granstand" the last one, and just about managed to maintain my pace, I was pleased that I didn't collapse, and the speed and endurance will return! |

| Didn't feel good when I woke up, but thought I'd could gut out a long run later in the morning. Hmmm...well does 3 1/2 miles count? Guess not, so I'll aim to tack on some extra miles to the usual Sunday recovery run! |

| Missed the long run yesterday so had the bright idea to add some extra miles onto the Sunday recovery run. It was lovely and humid, but not too hot, for the "regular" part of the run. It also helps that is was with the group so the miles just flew by. However, I had to do the last 6 on my own. It didn't help that I miscalculated the distance home. I was thinking of the distance from one point on the trail...trouble is that I was almost 1 1/2 miles further away than that...doh! Oh well it was good to stretch my leg, and be on my feet for a good deal of time. I had to slow down on the Expo Hills as it started to get warm, and I could feel my heart rate getting high. Still made it in one piece, and will be ready for a run on Tuesday. |

Mile repeats today. Weather wasn't too bad. Pretty humid, but nice and cool. I felt good for the first couple of mile repeats, but then started to feel tired on the 3rd one. The 4th was barely at MGP as the legs had had enough. I can certainly feel that I've lost the "edge". However, the good news is that is (nearly) alwasy a downhill after an uphill battle ;o).
Splits were as follows: 6:45, 6:29, 6:28, 7:15 |
