50º this morning. Time to start training again. I would like a quick turn around before racing again. Good morning run, easy. Lots of multicolored squirrels and a baby bunny tagged along today.

66, a bit warm. Windy. 8+ miles. Striders 11x30s @ 5K pace- active recovery. Started just a hair later than normal so I had to weave the kids walking to school. Made me feel like it was a real 5 K.

Had my doc in the am and some good adjustments felt so nice. 9.25 evening. Ran from the bike bath to the yellow loop and the orange loop trails- which is just over 3 miles of tough switchback running - pushed hard. Actually hit some low 7's and high 6's on the trails that I did not think was possible. Felt strong and the shoes made me feel sure footed. Also saw a few Ohio Whitetail deer and a scared a few walkers hiking the trails. Makes it complete.

Tough morning so had to settle for an evening bike path run. 66, but not humid. 8 miles, w 13x20s striders @ 3k pace -mostly low 6/high 5's. Active recoveries. I thought the bike bath would be busier. There were some friendly people and high fived a girl as we passed on the way back. She needed motivation it looked like.

48 with a cool drizzle (sorry Joe). Ideal running temps, although there was a some wind for resistance. Not many people out early, but by the end there was some people enjoying the day. I saw of 12 rabbits and was beginning to wonder if I was having too many kale smoothies. Luckily I survived. Legs were tired so I wanted to start very slow and then just get progressively faster. Mission accomplished. 9:36, 9:19, 9:04, 8:57, 8:39, 8:24, 8:13, 8:01, 7:52, 7:42, 7:21, 7:07, 7:05, 7:22, 7:29. At no point did I feel like I really was 'pushing' it, so good deal.
