25 Min Run (base)

GREENVILLE, Mich. -- A loop around Baldwin Lake with Steve. Strangely hot out there in the afternoon. Great running to be had in G-ville these days. Pretty awesome.

27 Min Run (base)

GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. -- It's a fun little loop to the downtown. Beautiful morning again. Just incredible. Was blessed with easy waking this week. Who knows where that came from.

74 Min Run (push) --158--

SILVERLAKE -- Did the reservoir and tacked on a couple miles. Good pace for most. Felt pretty well done by the end, but not destroyed. Good stuff.

Something about the 'over an hour' runs. It's been a long time, but really your brain does go into a loopy kind of mode when you run over 60 minutes. I had little bugs on me and a sand burr somehow. Didn't notice until done. Plus a little dopey, too.

It's funny because at Edmunds my average run was 7 or so and up to 10 for the dailies. I remember having that feeling all the time. I think it's when you start using fat stores to power the run. Like your blood sugar gets a little weird as you transition or something.

35 Min Bike (base) -- 162--

LOS FELIZ -- Busted the old bike out and enjoyed a little pedal to the Tiger game v. Rangers. Good times. Lakers just got blown the eff out by Oklahoma City. This is not a misprint.

13 Min Run (base) --159--

LOS FELIZ -- Quick run. Should do more of these and get up to 7 days a week of cardio, with 3 good runs and a good bike in there. Dream a little dream.

37 Min Run (base) --159.5--

LOS FELIZ -- Ran out in the drizzle and had a great one. Did a few little grapevines and shuffles to try and get the knees a little lateral action.

57 Min Run (base) --158.5--

SILVERLAKE -- Perfect Saturday trot around the reservoir...great. Cut another minute off the time and had some good stretches. Good stuff.

25 Min Run (base) --160--

LOS FELIZ -- Quick run before picking up Maggie. Took the weekend off, maybe necessarily/maybe not. But it was a good decision from a recharging standpoint. I'm probably back at 75 percent off a low of probably 15 - 25. It was pretty bad last week.

But amid all that, still kept the running going and even restarted a real program. Awesome.

30 Min run (base) --158.5--

LOS FELIZ -- Nice little recovery trot. Enjoyable.

40 Min Run (base) --158.5--

LOS FELIZ -- Good little daily run. Hot out. Good pace. Felt strong the entire way. Turned on a slight amount of speed toward the end.

55 Min Run (base) --159.5--

SILVERLAKE -- Great pre-Final Four run this morning in the old 1999 Tampa Final Four shirt. Nice and not too hot. Solid and about 3 mins faster than the same course last week.

Good.
