Easy run. 3 miles in 27:18. 9:06 AP. Super hot. We moved this weekend. As in loved our whole house with just help from my dad. Ridiculously hard. Remind me to never do a move by myself again.

3.320.000.002.005.32

Track workout. 5.32 miles total in 45ish minutes.

WU: 1.35 miles easy with drills and 4 strides. 

Workout: 3x800 (3:05, 3:05, 3:05) with 200/2min jog; 4x200 (44, 43, 42, 41) with 100/:45 jog. Fairly stiff wind on the backstretch. 

CD: 1.2 easy with a sprint up the huge hill. 

I wanted to do 4 reps of the 800 but left too late. So I cut it down to 3. It's also clear that I have more speed than endurance. The 200 progressions were pretty easy, while the 800s were pretty tough for the second lap. I based my times on the Jack Daniels calculator for a 20:10 5K. My 800s should have been at 2:59, but that felt super fast and I settled for 3:05s. The 200s were supposed to be at :45, but those felt too easy.

.5 mile run in AM. 1.5 mile walk with stroller and hills in PM. Then shot some baskets with Mase at the gym for at least 30 mins. I'm putting in 1 mile. Also swam about 7 laps after basketball. This definitely counts as an active day of recovery. My right calf is a bit sore from the track workout yesterday. Going for a long run of 10 miles tomorrow. That will get me to 30 miles for the week, a high for 2016.
