Hill progression, which felt ridiculously easy. I'm feeling good lately.

Did my treadmill hiking, hill sprints outside, then lifted weight back in the gym.

Local Thanksgiving 5K that, true to form, I paced very poorly. I seem to have wrapped my head around the notion that Marathons need to be started relatively slow, but the shorter races still trip me up. I hit the first mile @ 5:30, trying hard to hang with the leaders, many of whom would finish in the 16s. Obviously I'm not doing that. Still, a good effort on sore legs (if I'm being honest, a sore ass), beating the other fastish trail guy out of our collective element.

I ran, literally, around Baldwin City. I come from a small town.

More Baldwin running, this time with my Mom.

Easy trail run on a beautiful day. I'd bottle this weather up if I could. Then I went to the gym and hit the weights, focusing, as usual, on squats and weighted lunges.

A fair bit of easy running, with the 6x1. Felt great.

Getting my legs back, and lifting.

I don't think yesterday could have taken that much out of me, but for whatever reason, I felt really exhausted today. I could have done the third hour, but not with the required intensity. So I decided just to hammer out the two.
