Steve - 3.5

39:00. Easy recovery run. Feeling pretty sore after yesterday's track workout. Just wanted to do a shakeout run. I'm hoping the muscle soreness subsides by Saturday so I can get in a longer run and be ready to go for the 5k on Sunday.

Legs are pretty sorry from Wednesday's track workout. Another crappy AM run. Decided to do it early instead of trying to do it at night after work. Ran along a nice mile long stretch of grass on another street a little ways from the house.

36:38(9:51)

Ok so I guess the tubby park nazi wasn't bluffing about the "poison". Went back to the park today to get in a run. There were like a million signs plastered all over the fence. No trespassing. Herbicide treatment in progress, etc, etc. So I decided against hopping over and running. You win, you chubby bastard.

Ok, so instead I ran in the crappy part of the park on the grass adjacent to a sidewalk. I did like like 4 of these crappy loops before heading out onto a sidewalk. I found a grass median to run for about a mile or so. It stops every quarter mile or so but the grass is soft and I'll take what I can get at this point. If this damn park really isn't going to be open again until December, that really will mess up my training schedule. I might try to join up with other runners from the Flyers for a long run at a park a few miles from where I work one day a week.

4.5 miles 49:30. Slow, easy recovery run after yesterday's speed workout. Two long runs coming on Saturday and Sunday.

Easy recovery run. 36:22(9:33 pace), although it might have been slower since my Nike Plus is usually too long for my slower paced runs. But it doesnt really matter. I just wanted to go out and do something easy after a relatively hard workout yesterday. Did it on the grass so it would be less impact. I felt some aches and pains from the run in the Nike Frees yesterday, so I need to be a bit careful. After my frostburn heels(pun intended), I'll start icing my foot again...

21:07 (9:22 pace) Today was just an easy recovery run. Stayed up late last night studying for a test which didnt go as well i had hoped, so I decided to at least get some semblance of a run in tonight. Plan is for a tough interval workout on Saturday and then a long easy run on Sunday. Will most likely see what I can bring in a mile time trial. Oh and I have to throw this in. Duke absolutely got their ass kicked tonight! Doesn't get any better than that.
