Cheesey bottom crust

Firestation+/Sienna Hills. The plan was to get out and back before 9 so I could keep the kids out of Emilys hair while she had a group study for a school class. Didnt get up near early enough then in the midst of stretching the stupid cat decided to pee under the bed so I got to clean that up. I think that was a good thing though because the body had more time to get stretched and the run was better for it. No hip/groin problems. Didnt have quite the super Monday feeling Ive had in the past few weeks but enjoyed it anyway.

Booked the hotel for Phoenix last night so good or bad Im running. Im sure I can finish but really wanted to be in great shape and blow the PR out of the water. But such is life.

Maverik warmup then 3x2@MP on the dirt mile w/.5 recovery and 1mile cool down. Repeat of last Tues workout. Warmup was good and I felt like I could knock these out no problem.

1 - 12:44(6:23,6:21) 6:22avg

2 - 12:40(6:21,6:16) 6:18avg

3 - 12:35(6:14,6:20) 6:17avg

Didnt feel anywhere near as easy as last week. The first set was ok but I could feel that I wasnt going as fast and it wasnt effortless. The next two got pretty hard and I was done by the end of the third whereas last week I felt I could have easily done a couple more sets no problem. More hip/groin issues than last time also and Im figuring thats from bad form from tired legs. I was able to get it done and Ill take the rest of the week easy so I dont die on Sat long run.

Top of Greensprings with west tortise fence. Took it easy today. Felt a little worn out but not horrible.

Landfill. Easy again today. Enjoyed the sprinkling rain.10x100m striders on the way back.

5 - Sienna Hills. Short on time this morning so I decided to cut todays run into 2 smaller runs. Tired but hip/groin felt better than it has in a few days. 

5 - Grapevine. Good little jog this evening. Time to toss the Ghost4s.

Plan was to get out at 6 and get done before the day started. When I got up it was raining pretty good and I was nervous about getting to cold in the rain. Decided after several minutes to wait until later in the day and hope the rain let up or it was at least warmer. The rain let up in the morning but I couldnt go until around 11 and by then the rain was back. Had Emily drive me up to the Toquerville exit and then back towards Silver Reef on the north frontage road for a couple miles. Ran east toward the exit then turned west and followed the other frontage road home. Had a nice rain for most of the run but it wasnt ever cold so I enjoyed it quite a bit. I was going to progression the last 30min of the run but I didnt do so well. I did get the last 3 miles in quicker but it was lots of work. Looking back at my pace I can see why. I was right about 7min flat for the whole run so by the end I was spent. No hip/groin issues until the last few miles and then it got pretty sore. Overall a really fun run at a much better pace than I had planned. Not bad for the longest run since the marathon.
