25 Min run (push)

GROSSE POINTE, Mich. -- Sunny morning. So much buzz. So great. Trotting from Graham's place in the racing flats. Hit the village downtown in Grosse Pointe. Ran back. Mansions.

25 Min Run (base)

LOS FELIZ -- Quick recovery run. Good preamble to the Detroit trip, where runs have been inconsistent at best.

60 Min Run (Base) --159--

SILVERLAKE -- Just like slipping into a warm bath. Perfect everything. Used the racing flats for this distance for the first time. Loved it. Flat shoes = better.

If only they all could be so lovely.

25 Min Run (base) --160.5--

LOS FELIZ -- As I had hedged against, no runs during the trip to Michigan. Worst. But not completely unexpected. Good reset run today. Temps in the mid 70s. Got some good pace for a stretch of this. Love the racing flats.

Little nagging sore points...right foot on the pinkie toe tarpal. Left knee on the lower knee on the inside...same crap from driving 800 miles of local shifting in January. Need to get a couple good 3+ weeks in.

37 Min Run (push) --159.5--

LOS FELIZ -- First hot weather run of the year. Awesome. Awesome. Just pouring sweat after. Good pace throughout. Good stuff.

20 Min Run (Push) --161--

LOS FELIZ -- Took the racing flats out and just dusted something in the neighborhood of 2.5 miles. Awesome. Super strong, fast, great form.

The cross training -- leaps specifically -- seem to have paid off handsomely.
