Summer Log 2012 - June 18-24

I'M BACK!!!  After a whirlwind end of track season and school year, mixed in with a new baby I finally feel ready to resume serious training once again.  The past 6 weeks or so have been filled with pretty sporadic training.  Running, but with little purpose past maintaining some fitness.  Early Bird started this week, so I see it fitting to get back to some good training myself.  Wish me luck.

(Past few weeks I've run been sore...especially quads.  Also had to go back to LunarGlides, as Lunar Elites seemed to aggravate hip and shins...go figure.)

Mon 6/18 - Easy route past train station with the distance crew.  (6 miles)

Tues 6/19 - Steady run with Quick through Deer Grove East and back (46 min).  Added 30 min afterward for total of 78 min  (10 miles +/-)

Wed 6/20 - 2.5 mile warm-up to Hamilton (+some drills & few strides).  12 x 400m grass loop with 200m rec jog.  Ran pretty relaxed (low to mid :80's in grass loop).  First quicker effort in a while, so didn't push too much.  1.5 mile cood-down. (8 miles)

Thur 6/21 - Steady run to Frontier (+) in low 6:00 pace.  (6 miles).  Group Core with girls afterward.

Fri 6/22 - 2.5 miles to Peacock.  3x 1000m hill circuit.  Good effort, but controlled.  3 x Hayleys quick with full recovery. 3 mile cool-down back to school.  (7.5 miles)

Sat 6/23 - 45 min run at Cuba Marsh. Easy with Eli in jogger. (5 miles)

Sun 6/24 - 50 min steady in CL.  (7.5 miles)

Mileage for Week = 50 miles

Happy with first solid week back to running.  Felt pretty good.  Nothing too difficult.  Goal is to keep building, keep healthy, and get stronger.
