Breakdown
Super windy today. Tried to wait until the evening to get my workout in to avoid the worst of the winds.

Going to be running a 5k this Saturday morning before our lacrosse game to gauge my fitness level, so this week's speed day was a simple 3-2-1 workout. Did the workout at Old Thompson (pavement 440 yard track) to avoid dealing with spring football practice in the stadium.

Ran it comfortably fast and didn't really get anaerobic on any of the sets. Did all the 300s in 49-51 seconds, 200s in 34-36 seconds and 100s in 16 seconds. Relaxed. No problems.

Left quad is bothering me a bit from not recovering from my 10 miler on Sunday as well as I hoped. Got 7 easy miles in yesterday and legs got heavy around four miles. Still felt heavy today, but no soreness during the workout.

Shoes
Warmed up in Adidas Supernova Ride
Workout in Nike Lunarfly 3

Next Up
Easy six miles with strides tomorrow, followed by core workout. Easy four miles and strides Friday morning (lacrosse game that afternoon). 5k race Saturday (still not sure which one I am going to).

Other News
Getting back into coaching a bit. I have my US Track and Field coaching certification and have done basically nothing with it. On top of putting my plan together, I have also put a training plan together for my intern Becky, who is running the half marathon May 6 as well. She is crushing her training right now and I think she is going to be super surprised come race day. It's been fun helping her out a bit and she's been an awesome running partner and someone to commiserate about running with. That's all. Peace out.
