Headed out in the afternoon. Felt surprisingly good so decided to do a little tempo.  First 3 miles at 7 min pace then next two in 11:02 (5:31) on the flattest section of the run. Fairly happy with the effort, cooled down for the rest of the 10k loop.

5 mile fartlek run after work.  Hectic day followed by a late night. Averaged about 6:40 for the run. New Brooks Adrenaline are nice but feel bulky after a few days of Kinvaras and Nike Frees.

Did a 4 mile tempo after work on Wasatch with James. It was an out and back tempo, 2 each way for the mathematically impaired. 

1 5:46.3 1.00 5:46
2 5:48.1 1.00 5:48
3 5:44.6 1.00 5:45
4 5:45.6 1.00 5:46

Pretty consistent effort. Probably as good as I could hope for after a higher mileage day yesterday. Almost made it under 23 minutes. Did a 2 mile warmup and cool down.  

Also, I got a print out for my blood labs back today.  I figure someone on the blog will know if the following are healthy measurements for a runner. What else should I look for? I know the first two measurements are important but not sure about the rest.

Hemoglobin 17.0 g/dL

Hematocrit 47.8%

MCV 85 fL

MCH 30.4 pg 

MCHC 35.6 g/dL 

RDW 12.6%

After work jog. Passed by Olympus and saw the track was open so I jogged the stairs. 8:30 average pace for the trot. Definitely needed an easier day today. 

Now time to watch as many college basketball games as possible.
