I did a workout today. I have no idea if it was a good workout. It had some hard running and I ran more than I normally do Mon-Fri. I don't know what the purpose of it was except to do some faster running mixed into a longer run.

Oh, and you did a 2 hr run just a few days ago. Welcome back! Remember, it's a workout only if you feel the "good" hurt. Hopefully you did.
Yeah, I did. But you know how they say every workout should have a purpose? I guess mine technically had a purpose, but I could not tell you why I did that workout and why I did it today. I guess maybe my reason was specific enough for someone at my level.

every workout only has one purpose.... to make you faster.

Ran 400s with a running buddy today. Ran 1:08.22 on the fourth -- looked it up in my log just now and my open 400 PR is 1:08, so now I'm feeling confident I can get a 400 PR this summer. And yeah, I skipped the 5th & 6th ones, because I was tired.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

I could feel the love for the hills coming back.
Nice.

Glad to know your legs are coming back to what your heart never forgot.
Recently while log-stalking you, I did notice that you are starting to make a move
I'm not running "workouts" as such. But some might have to come in the next couple of weeks. But today I had a nice run. Not quick by anyone's standards - but it was good: warm, no wind, pouring with rain, muddy hills. I could feel the love for the hills coming back.
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
I was thinking about Mr. Purdey this morning. I thought, "Did this 'injured' guy run a ho-hum 70-mile week recently?"
Looks like the answer is 77 miles, to be exact.
I look my best blurry!
It's been a so-so week...had hopes of doing more but work stuff got in the way and then the daughter's softball a couple of nights a week. I'll tell ya, trying to herd 15 first graders is like herding cats. It's been fun seeing them get better though. Back to running...almost 70 last week (69.2). Had plans of starting to work in strides this week as the hammy is feeling fine. Did good one day and then felt like a slug for a progression run last night. Did 1.5 easy then 3xmile continuously with increasing pace (5:59, 5:49, 5:43). Aerobically I felt fine but legs just weren't there. Tried to do some strides afterwards but bailed as it just seemed like I was doing a fast jog.
Warrior dash on Saturday and a long run on Sunday. Still some good running left this week!
I am 15 1/2 stone - So at least you can point me out in a crowd and say "I'm not fat ... look at that guy, now that's a fat guy!"
I have this theory that as long as a woman can find another woman fatter than she is, she at least has that going for her. Now the fattest woman in the world doesn't give a shit, because she tried to be the fattest women in the world for the attention. In this way womankink remains in a perverted balance and the world does not blow up.
womankink ... perverted balance
