Easy run. 6.02 miles in 59:12. 9:51 AP. Stroller with M. There's a lot of f'ing hills in Brookfield. It's literally impossible to run so as to not hit any substantial hills.

Track Workout. 3.4 miles I think. No watch. 

WU: 1 mile easy. 2 strides and drills

WO: 4x400 fast (100j/100walk); 200 walk rest; 400/800/2x200 (100j/100walk). 

CD: .75 miles slow and heavy. 

It was a weird workout because I didn't have my watch - kinda an essential thing for a speed workout. It was pretty hot out, too. Just went by feel.

Tempo run. 7 miles total. 8:51 AP. Menomonee River Trail. Sweet, sweet uninterrupted jogging paths and cool trails along the river. 

3 miles easy. Had some bad shin splints in my left leg in mile 2. I stopped and stretched and they went away. I desperately need new shoes. 

3 miles tempo effort: The first one was along the river trail, so it felt faster than what the watch said. 8:32. Next 2 were 7:11 and 7:02. 

1 mile easy to finish. Hot out again.

Longish run. 8.15 miles in 1:18:59. 9:41 AP. Pushed Miles in the stroller. 

I used my older, less worn Pegasuses (Pegasi?) and felt so much better. My legs had pop. I could have run all day. I pushed it in the last half mile around 7:40 pace.
