PM: 7 miles + hills

Ran the gully longer run again. Held an average 6:40 pace.

I wasn't able to run with the rest of the team becaus I lost my truck keys and had to find a ride home so that I could go and get my spare to be able to drive so that was a bummer. But during the run, I was feeling good the whole time, although I did start way to fast and so I had to recover from that, but I did it. It was pretty chilly when I started but it eventually warmed up. It'g getting to that time of year where I actually need to keep my shirt on when I run.

While I was finishing up my last couple of miles I saw a couple trying to take a selfie with the gully as the background, so being a good person I slowed down to let them take the photo. Well I could hear her counting down to take the photo, so when she got to 1 shirtless me in short shorts jumped into the photo posed and smiled and then ran off. Hopefully I was able to photobomb them in time. Guess I'll never know.

Had a pretty easy workout today in my opinion. Ran 4 miles for a warm up and then ran 12 X 200 M starting in the low 40s and ending in the low 30s and then a 2 mile cool down.

Was pretty easy to do. We started at 41 for our 200s and ended at 30.

PM: 6 miles

I wanted to get 8 miles but my knee started to bug me and it got worse, so I decided to stop at 6. 

I think the reason my knee hurts is a couple of days ago I stretched it wrong and so I think it is still recovering from that. Also, my shoes have over 1000 miles on them so I'm going to get new shoes tomorrow and that will hopefully help a lot.

Created a new loop in the gully and called it the Gully Longest Run or The Reich. My knee felt a lot better so that is good although I totally forgot to go and get some new shoes. Looks like I'll have to go tomorrow.

Had a great track workout today. We ran 3 X 1200 M @ race pace without looking at your watch.

Felt good to be doing some speed again. We ran the 1st one perfectly, the 2nd one was a little slower because the wind picked up, and the 3rd was good again. I felt good to be working on speed again.
