Mo, 8/1/2016 5 mile recovery on the Rail Trail in 38:47 * avg. 7:42/mi... nice and easy, making sure I am fully functional after yesterday's long hilly run. Felt pretty good. Pace was slow, but no worries. Need this pace to come down over time.  Tu, 8/2/2016 10K Fartlek - 15' easy, 2 x 90", 4 x 60", 4 x 30", 4 x 15" (equal rest), 10' easy in 43:46 * York College Track.. ran in flats - 7:24/mi warm-up, 5:31/5:41/mi pace for the 90", then 5:17/5:22/5:36/5:32/mi pace for the 60", followed by 5:13/5:17/4:59/5:11 for the 30" and 4:40/4:28/4:27/4:32 for the 15".. pretty promising. At the end there I really got my stride flying. Left post-tib was bothersome the whole way, which was disappointing, but hips were great. I was ready to run and being in flats I felt so strong. Good work.  We, 8/3/2016 5 mile recovery on the Rail Trail in 41:27 * 8:17/mi... Whoa. Total recovery. Was happy with how I felt, I just don't recover well afte
Mo, 7/25/2016 5 miles steady around the DQ Loop in Miami in 34:57 * avg. 6:50/mi... fastest mile 6:41... last run in Miami, second week under Jake. Super surprised. Felt light on my feet, but slow turnover (171 spm). Very pleased. Just dedicated and it feels good. Can only get better. Tu, 7/26/2016 5+ miles around Logan's Reserve in 38:57 with last mile fast in 6:19 + 4 x 10" strides * avg. 7:25/mi.. last mile in 6:19... horrible idea to run the new "trails" but I am operating off of 4 hours of sleep from last night's travel debacle from Miami (in bed by 2:30am). Got home early and opted to babysit Sophia and run local. Trails were poorly formed, too slanted, but toughed it out and fell apart final 400m pretty bad. This time my right glute. The 10" strides were horrendous. I don't even think I was running. Must've looked stupid out there. Thankfully finished up without injury. Just will be messed up for a couple of days. We, 7/27/2016 5 miles
