Easy early morning run. Not feeling too tired from Saturday. Next race up is Murray 5k. I'm shooting for a sub 18.

I wanted something between a threshold and interval workout. I ended up on the treadmill today. I warmed up 20 minutes and ran 10 x 3 minutes on/2 minutes off. I started at 10 mph and increased .1 on every interval. I ended at 11.1 mph, which is 5:24 pace. The recovery was at 8 mph. I felt really strong on this workout. My fitness has definitely improved, because I couldn't do this workout a month or so ago.

I finished my cooldown by sneaking into the Zumba class for the last 30 minutes.

Tired legs today. I'm trying to load up a bit so I can have a couple of easy days beforw Murray 5k without cutting mileage. I'm planning on running my long run on Friday so I can have an extra day of recovery.

Ran part of my run on the River Trail. The pelicans were out. I love watching the pelicans.

Took it nice and easy this morning. 7:57 average. Ran into some gym friends, and ran a few miles with them. Running buddies make all the difference in the world.
