Just an easy warmup before a rather intense 30-minute cross-training session with a lot of planks, step ups, medicine ball rainbows, reverse lunges, etc.

Steady 8:20s, felt good, leg was really behaving today. Maybe the backwards lunges or kettle bell squats are doing some good.

Ran 6 x 1:00 to 6:58 pace. Leg was a little sore and felt little wobbly overall, so decided not to push it further.

Realfit. 1 mile warmup, 6 x 3:00 cardio (3 row, 3 run), 6 x 1:00 abs. Sore, tired! Didn't push the runs too much but got a little resistance (incline) and speed into the last 2 reps.

Did 2 sets of everything from high knees to kettlebell swings to plank rows to rainbow slams. Very tiring! Then ran slowly but upped the grade from 2 degrees - > 8 for the 1.5, which was also tiring! Not far but still took about 14 minutes.

Hip and sciatic hurt a lot. Maybe I irritated them with all the cross-training yesterday. Sped up to 7.6 mph but eased back toward the end.

Ran 1.5 wu, then did 3:00 sections mixed with cals, with 2 at no incline but quick and 2 gradually upping the incline to 7 degrees at 6.5 mph. Not a lot of running but was pretty gassed after!

Schooner Head on the path! Cloudy but very warm, almost 50, with almost no wind. Great day even though legs felt dead.
