Progress!

Yesterday evening, Phill and I went out for our run as planned.  We warmed up from our apartment to the sand running path at Santa Clara University, which took 12 minutes.  Then, we began our workout of 6 x 2 minute on, 2 minute off around the sand running path.  

"On" meaning 10K - 5K pace, depending on what number rep we were on and also how we felt. "Off" meant a slow jog recovery.  When I saw 10K - 5K pace, I really just mean what pace I "think" I could run a 10K or 5K in.  I think our pace ended faster than current 5K pace, but we both felt pretty good so we were happy.  

This is our second fartlek style workout and I know that paces will get more and more accurate as we get fitter and more accustomed to doing workouts again.  March 1's race will probably give us a little guidance as well.  

After the main workout, we warmed down for 10 minutes and then walked until we got back to the apartment.  

I then walked over to get some Thai, while Phill started to hit the books again. Nothing beats veggies, tofu, and some pad thai on Wednesday night.  Phill and I also shared a Crispin Cider, and it was very tasty.

I woke up with no muscle tightness or soreness, which is a really great thing.  This means that my diet, stretch and rolling might be doing good things to my recovery process! 

I don't have any other news today...and I also need to get back to 9 - 5!  Or really...the 7:30 - 4!
