8 miles moderate on the Greenway and up Water St. in 55:14
* avg. 6:55/mi - 466ft gain... woke up at 4:45am to get this in and I was jet-lagged, but got out there. Wrestled with the idea of 80-min, but then reverted to my 70% rule. Will see if I get in my double today, but I felt light and fast. Really worked and them my right groin started fatiguing. Pushed through, need some work. Amazing what the VK effort did to my legs. So much stronger. Need more work like this.

Work
We, 6/22/2016
2 mile warm-up, 2000 in 6:30 + 1500 in 4:51 + 3 x 800m in 2:34, 2:31, 2:35
* rec. 3:00 after 2000/1500, then 2:00 after 800s.. wasn't motivated, still tired from travel and work and pretty frustrated at my speed, although I am pleased I ran the whole workout. Wanted 77s, but looks like 77s was the end of the workout. Goal was 6:25-6:30 for the 2k, then same pace for 1500 and drop it down on the 800s. Nice and smooth. No real issues. Calves were great, some weakness in left hammie, but all good. Nice work.

AM: 6 miles moderate in the rain on the Greenway in 44:54
* avg. 7:25/mi... felt pretty good. Had some strength, then fatigued, then got going again. Right TFL was tight, but worked through it. Got into a good rhythm. Looking to double today.
PM: 4+ miles on the Greenway in 32:23
* avg. 7:34/mi... wow, big improvements. Felt light and fluid, but my left hip locked up finishing up. It was tight the whole way. Damn glute, I felt it from driving in traffic. Ugh.

2 mile warm-up, 4 x 400m in 72, 71, 72, 73 (rest 2:00) ~ aborted workout
* Goal was 5 x 400m in 72 + 1200 + 5 x 300m + 800m, but my left hip is jacked. Not a happy camper.

As of today, I am running the workout on Wednesday on the Zilker Park loop in Austin because the Marathon is my focus, not this weekend's 5K... * A great workout this morning. These workouts are always more mentally than physically demanding, as you try to rationalize everything under the sun. First o

What a great workout. Set a loop record (6:11) during my 10:00 pick-up. Crazy.. and then I was able to increase and keep pace. Very fit, very promising, especially with a 4 mi run only 4hrs earlier. Good, crisp conditions.  We, 5/15/2013 10 miles post Staph Infection surgery with two anti-biotics at Patapsco in 1:14:27 Th, 5/16/2013 Work Fr, 5/17/2013 AM: 4 miles easy thru Patapsco in 32:12 PM: 4 miles with two KOM at Sawmill Trail in 32:05 Sa, 5/18/2013 30 min easy around Old Track Loop + 12 x 400m on Norris Ln. with 1:30 rest in 1:04:14 * 5:05, 5:22, 4:48, 5:23, 5:01, 5

Monday, 08-08-2011 AM: 2.59 miles steady out to Ft. McHenry in 18:10 + Weights PM: 6.19 miles with 5 x 1200m Trail in 4:29, 4:18, 4:28, 4:22, 4:25 (rec. 2') * Norris Ln, not recovered from yesterday's 11M race, but no worries, as I was cramming work before tomorrow's surgery. Not sure if I am going to miss any time or if it will be 2-3 days of no running. Will find out at 3PM. Dreadfully hot today and I felt so much better in the AM session. More energy. Tuesday, 08-09-2011 AM: 7.61 miles steady out to Patterson Park in 50:41 * 7:08, 6:43, 6:44, 6:42, 6:31, 6:34, 6:22 (avg. 6:39/mile)... surprisingly swift. PM: Nail Surgery * So, I had a pretty badly infected toenail on my right big toe that needed attention, and ultimately surgery. Should only miss 2-3 days of running, if not less. Surgery went well, no complications. Wednesday, 08-10-2011-Sunday, 08-14-2011 Recover from Nail Surgery * Well, I would have to say I have had a complication from
