Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

Went to the gym for some speed exercise I read about in Running Times.  I wanted to do some short hill sprints outside, but 12 degrees and ice don't make for good fast running conditions.

2 warm-up,

4 x 150 in-n-outs,

1.75 cool down.

I know, 2 is lame, but planning on tomorrow to be a threshold type workout...my first in about 2.5 months!  another reason for the short distance was so I had time to stretch after and do some core.  My groin felt great after that! : )

2, no watch + core

did 9 x 1:00 @ T-pace & 1:00 @ easy run pace during an out & back to 189.  I knew it wouldn't be 2 the pace I'd like, so I just wore my regular watch to track time and based the pace off of effort.  Legs felt poppy at first, but my cardio kinda sucks right now.

15 min warm up,

9 x 1:00 threshold w/1:00 easy run,

10 min cool down

Out & back to 189 with 8 x 1:00 @ T-pace & 1:00 @ easy run pace.  I felt pretty crappy during this, just like last week.  I think next week I'm gonna increase mileage of this run by about 2 miles of just easy running.  I think the main reason I feel crappy is because my cardio sucks right now!

2.5 warm,

8 x 1:00 @ t-pace w/ 1:00 @ base run pace,
