10.2 miles. Lots of hills this morning, empty Sunday roads.

5.3 miles in the afternoon heat. Like my new Pegasus 29s but I'd have to say that the Saucony Guide 5s are my favorites.

There was a couple doing a crossfit workout on the football field, the woman was crying. More proof that running > crossfit.

1.5 mile warm up

2 x 50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 meters all with equal jog recoveries. No watch just ran comfortably hard on each one.

Got out today after a two day break. I've felt generally fatigued and decided to back off rather than tough it through. Probably should've jogged super easy but I was lazy. Felt good to get back out today. 7 miles

Did two .25 pickups during the run at goal 5k pace of 5:08.

Did a lunch workout at Cottonwood High. 

Warmed up for 1.25 miles

Workout was 200-400-600-800-600-400-200 @ goal 5k pace(5:09) for a 16 minute 5k.

Rest was 100-200-300-300-200-100 jog at about 8:30 pace in-between reps.

Times were 35-75-1:54-2:34-1:55-76-36.  This was a very tough workout for me but good to get some faster running in with minimal rest.  It showed me I have a ways to go to break 16 minutes. The second 600 rep was brutal but I felt oddly better on the following 400. Next week I will add another 800m and 1k rep to make it an actual 5k of hard running.

Jogged stairs for 10 minutes afterwards then cooled down another 1.5 miles
