Another 6 miles today,  muscle are feeling extra tight in the left glute and hammy.  Went from will's up to the mouth of the canyon.  I was going to go further but saw some guy standing on the path in street clothes just staring at me.  I stopped and stretched my claves deciding if I wanted to go up past this guy.  He then bent down and started putting stuff in his pockets, it looked like rocks.   I didn't have a good feeling about any of this.  Then this guy on a bike came down and passed him, he stopped and told me that guy and a big long knife and to not go up any further.   That was enough for me to turn around and go back.  I did call the police and reported this.  Got back to wills and added on another mile.  Got home and stretched and did 45 mins of pilates.

Meet Ericka for a 5 mile warmup before the 5k (47:18/9:26).  I was really unsure what I would do today but wanted a bench mark of were I am.  I was thinking I would be lucky to avg. an 8 min pace. so was happy with the end result.

1-8:12 most of this is up hill but felt comfortable

2-6:59 most of this is down hill and still felt comfortable

3-8:01 this mile is flat with a slight up hill at the end and then a sprint around the track.

.1- :42 

This was fun and did better than I thought I would.  then 1 mile cool down

Did p90x abs and 23 min of yoga plus arms and ball squats.

Got up early and ran.  Warmed up for 2 miles and then ran quarters on the track.  I decided I want to try to run a good 5k in June so I will do shorter fast stuff to try for that.  Plan was to do at least 4 of them and see where I am at.  

1-1:43

2-1:47 long

3-1:44

4-1:40 and then I decided to do another to see if I could go under 1:40

5-1:36

felt good and probably could have done more but that was good for a start.  My goal for next week will be to do 5-6 at a 1:39-1:42

P90X abs, chest, and butt lifts, hammy's

Met up with Marie and the sojourners group.  We did trails, which I was excited to do but I am so out of shape on the hills plus there was snow on them and it was cold.  And it was uphill for the first 3 miles, my pace on those was between 13 (on the really steep stuff) and 10 min. mile.  Then it flattens out and is rolling and I felt good and ran in the 8-9 range then on the downhill and flat canal back to the car I ran in the mid 8's and even had a 7:50.  Was a good run but I am tired.  Stretching.

1:53:48/9:48 

25 mins of arm circuits
