More good running temps. 51º, but it was VERY windy. Started the day with our church marching in a parade for the Sugar Maple Festival. Then home to run. Did the classic. 10 Mile Warm Up followed by 6x3 Minute intervals with 2 minute active recoveries in between. These always kill my legs. .46 (6:32), .46 (6:32), .45 (6:39), .45 (6:42), .43 (6:58-some up hill) & .42 (7:05 - tired). Then some cool down miles then ended the last half pretty quick. .... Then off to my daughters big performance. The theater group she is in does it up big time. Singing in the Rain. They practice from August until now. She is 16 and the cast is over 30 people let alone stage hands, etc etc - but they put in college level quality programs. Next two are next Fri & Sat...  I am beat.

Wow, looks like you have a real actress there! Cool!!!

You're starting to run really strong. What's your next race plan?

That sounds like a tough workout with 10 miles before the intervals. Nice job.

Thanks guys- yeah I am proud of her - you nailed it.

And yes, this workout is one I stole from Paul ages ago (Tinman big w/o) and it is tough on my legs.

IJR- I have not signed up for a spring/summer race yet. I have some fall ones, but need to get something else on the schedule soon!
