Easy 5 miles around the Carillon office park at lunch time.  Really nice day - light pace.

20 miles on the treadmill at 7:19 pace with the last two at MRP (6:44).  Felt reasonably good for the entire run - but was pressed for time to complete it before work - would have liked to get an extra mile or two in.  Pleased that the MRP miles did not feel "hard."

Easy 4.5 miles around the Carillon office park at lunchtime.  Very nice weather again today.

 

My daughters had a high school track meet today.  The competitive swimmer, Riley has decided to run track this spring but has been hampered with injuries.  Her very first track meet was today - she ran the open 800 and clocked 2:57 - not bad.  Her teammates were calling her "Nemo" - fish out of water.

Delaney had a pretty good meet.  Ran the 4 x 800 with a 2:49 split.  Her team won.  Next ran the open mile and recorded at PR at 6:13 and then was recruited to run the 4 x 400 at the end of the meet.  She was the lead off leg, and I was nervous for her, but she ran really well, with a 69 split and  kept even with her competition - in fact she was not even the slowest leg.  They won that event as well.  Then I had to drive her to club soccer practice in Tampa - oh to be young...

On treadmill at 1% grade - 12 x 400 at 79-80 seconds per rep with a 90 second rest.  2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.  Tough workout but also a confidence builder.  Had my doubts about the last 2 reps, but did not crack.  Pleased with my fitness level.

On the treadmill - 4 x 3 miles @ 6:30 pace with 800 rest - 2 mile w/u and 2 mile c/d.  This was a tough workout - more so mentally I think than physically, perhaps because it was on the treadmill.  I switched from a regular treadmill for two of the reps to a Woodway - which I usually like, but I noticed my left calf felt a little tweaked as well as the back of my right knee, so I switched back to the regular treadmill for the last rep.  Was watching the Gators game against UCLA - which turned out well for Florida while I was doing the workout.
