Still grinding

Thursday, March 31st . . . that's why I'm easy . . .

55 min. easy trail run with 5 min. barefoot warm-up. Heading to the mountains so I'll be doing higher elevation running between 7,000 - 9,000 ft. Not sure what type of runs I will do since I run entirely by feel so it depends on what my body says easy day. This also makes running fun as I'm not exactly sure what I will do easy day.

Wednesday, Dec. 8th, my favorite tempo run

I started with a 5 minute barefoot warm up on concrete then laced up the Evo II's and hit the trails for a good hard tempo run. The progressive tempo run is my favorite run. In fact, it is one of the runs that the Kenyans do religiously, many times twice per week. Here's a good article at it:

After a 30 minute warm-up, I moved into a progressive tempo of 3 miles of running at 6:38 pace. I was running at about a 7/8 effort level on a scale of 1-10. It was a nice comfortably hard run. The complete run, including warm-up, was 6.22 miles in 52:41. My form felt really good and I felt great.

On slate for tomorrow (Thursday) is a nice easy recovery run then I'll throw in another tempo run for Friday.

Denver Office - Lunch Review

Ate at Garcia's Mexican restaurant 12.9.08. Excellent food and reasonable prices. Only negative is the food proportions are too large.
