Easy walk with Kodi, I think I'm tired from yesterday... :(

Run 1: 2:15:00 flat road run at an easy, steady pace with slight negative splits.

This was definitely not negative splits... at least I don't think so. I decided to go out with the Lululemon Marine Corps Marathon Training Crew - big mistake. Our "leader/ambassador" is a 2:50 marathoner... yeah. We started way to fast for me to be able to keep up for all 14 miles.

At 4 miles, she broke off, as she was only doing 10 miles - HA!! I wanted to make sure I hit the 2 hr 15 min mark and I figured 14 miles would get me there. I ended up pushing way too hard and this run really hurt!!!

I can't really consider this a negative split, although I could have easily done it if I had been on my own but it was nice to see a 14 mile run that averaged under 9s!!

Run 2: 60:00 flat/rolling road or trail run with 5 x 3:00 surges at 10K race pace.
a. 15:00 at Easy Pace.
b. When you feel fully warmed up, do 5 x 3:00 surges at 10K race pace for the terrain you are on.
c. Take 2:00 - 3:00 at Easy Pace in between each surge.
d. Continue running normal Easy Pace/Effort for the remainder of time.

So, I did 7 instead of 5, partially because I was in a hurry to get home and partially because I just had the energy!

I did them at 49-52, 55-58, 02-05, 08-11, 14-17, 19-22, 25-28.

Felt great... again!!

Nice walk home from work.

Afternoon walk home from work.

Easy run with my neighbor!

Easy run with VHTRC group at Great Falls State Park!

Went with Amy on a chill 10 miler, we pushed one mile up to 8:35 m/m, I always go according to her pace.

Great morning run!
