PM - lunchtime workout.  2 mile warm up then 6 x 400 @ 5k pace with sets of core/strength work in between each rep (chin ups, push ups, burpees etc) then 1 mile cool down.  A non-standard workout for me  - really wore me out as the exercises really got my body fatigued between each 400.  Not a lot of distance - but this took about an hour or more to do.  Hot day too.

PM - during Delaney's soccer practice - another 5 easy.  Bit of an adventure run.  There is an equestrian trail up the road from her soccer fields that I drive by frequently - and the thought occured to me tonight, that the trails may be soft and nice for my legs - so I headed into the woods around 7:30 - basically about 15 minutes before sundown - Trails were nice, but I got a bit turned around and ended up out on Race Track Road when I expected to end up where I had started on S. Mobley (essentially a mile and a half northwest of where I wanted to be).  No worries, though, as it was too dark for me to really find my way back through the woods, so I added some miles on roads at the same easy trail pace.  Will go back there in the daylight sometime - trails were nice.

PM - 7 miles easy to moderate on the treadmill.  Getting too warm out now for longer outdoor midday runs. 

 

PM - 5 more afterwork while Delaney was at soccer practice.  Tonight her team trained at fields in Carrollwood - so I had a nice run around that neighborhood for the first time.  Legs very sore from the workout yesterday.

PM - late - long day of travel, meetings and dinner in Indy.  Went out for a short 4 miles when I got to my hotel room around 10:15.

PM - 10 easy miles during a break between soccer games for Delaney in Auburndale.  There is a rails to trails-type of bike path that bisects the soccer complex and this trail goes for many miles - but also very boring rural scenery and quite hot in the upper 80's.  Kept the pace/HR low and aside from some minor dehydration, I felt pretty good about the run.
