Monday
I became a morning runner today. I hope it lasts.
Easy run. Squats, LM, LS, and drills. 4 miles (average pace 9:06 & HR 155) and 4 strides. Stretch. GSM and stretch. It's was an overall good run. I had very little discomfort during the easy 4. The strides were a bit tricky; I'm still unable to cut loose.
XT. Upper body strength.
Tuesday
I am a morning runner again today. I didn't sleep as well last night, but I'm still feeling fine.
Speed session. Squats, LM, and LS. 1 up. 2 sets of 3 quarters (2:01.0, 1:59.6, 1:54.6, 1:59.0, 1:52.3, 1:53.3) with a 25m walking IR between reps and an easy quarter between sets. 1 down. Stretch. GSM and stretch. I am pleased with this effort. I wish the reps had been a bit faster, but for my first speed session in 5 weeks everything went well.
XT. Leg day with core.

Thursday
Easy run. Squats, lunges, drills (abbreviated warm up). 5 miles with 6 x 100m strides (average HR 139). Stretch. GSM and Stretch.
Friday
I woke up not feeling too well. It might have been the wings and nachos, or maybe the rum and Corona. I didn't think I drank too much, but I sure felt rough.
XT. Vinyasa flow yoga 75 minutes with Joan.
Sunday
Whitestone 30k Relay. I'm up and readying myself for the Whitestone 30k Relay. This will be my first race of the year. I unfortunately missed out on my previous 3 attempts due to a cancellation and an injury. I'm anxious to see how my body reacts.
