8+ miles very slowly and then did 6 x 100+ strides.  Legs were stiff and tired today.  I didn't feel normal for about 6 miles which is kind of what I expected after yesterday.  The strides felt great to loosen me up.

AM: 13 miles: 2.8 warmup and a mile or so cool down. Drills and strides in there. Kind of a monster workout this morning. 12 x 1k w/200 jogs. I haven't done any math but I probably averaged 3:22. I ran he first one in 3:19 and the last in 3:16 but other than that I was consistently 3:22-23. The pace felt pretty comfortable but the number of reps and short rest made it a tough workout. I really like this workout as a "strength" workout with about 7.5 miles of running at threshold pace.

PM: 4 miles easy.  Fatigued legs but nice to get loose.

15 miles: Medium long run today and I threw in a couple of different things to mix it up. I did a two mile pickup during miles 7-8 in 11:27 then I jogged a couple of miles and did 5 x 1 min on/off at 4:55-5:05 pace starting at 10 miles. Kinda of a tough run. My body is tired and I'm ready for a day off tomorrow.

A little bit of turnover 10 mi 01:06 06:37 pace

Warmed up about 4 miles then I did 10 x 200 w/200 jogs averaging about 33. I felt pretty smooth today for that pace. I ran another few miles after that. Legs felt pretty good today after a day off yesterday.
