5th week

First race this week.  Work back into to more mileage/time.  Shoot for 300 this week.

Total Time: 344 minutes

Friday, 8/31: 70 minutes?.  Ran through Ballona creek bike path up the side of a steep cement embankment (dangerously) to get out near baldwin overlook and ran hard to the top.  Easy jog down and through culver city.  Finished hard up Robertson, felt strong going near 6:00 pace? for the last mile.

Thursday, 8/30: 37 minutes.  Right calf felt oddly tight this morning.  Easy jog,

Wednesday, 8/29: 55 minutes.  Legs felt fine today running through Beverlywood hills and West LA park, unfortunately today was the return of the Matt-has-to-shit-while-he-runs runs.  Last ten minutes were hell.

Tuesday, 8/28: 61 minutes. Felt painful, but not excruciating.  Side really hurt for the last 10 minutes and slowed down a lot.

Monday, 8/27: 56 minutes.  Nice late afternoon run.  Right quad still a little tight.  Legs lethargic tonight.

Sunday, 8/26: 35 minutes.  Felt a little tight and my left foot hurt from walking around in sandals earlier.  Right quad was a little tight too.


Saturday, 8/25: 5k race this morning with rocket racing productions along Santa Monica beach path. Ran alone, but got a good workout with negative (even at worst) splits.  I was 9:15 at the turn around.  Finished in 18:06 feeling a little out of energy, but not completely exhausted.  Maybe I'll take another slow easy evening run.
