day deux

tongue in cheek for the Tour happening right now.

this AM again with Red we did the so aptly named "square root" - over aspen, down 12 mile coulee, across country hills and back up rocky ridge to aspen again for a square, total time - 32:31, avg HR - 155-165

little higher pace this AM it seemed, at first 800 m was thinking it was going to be shortened as calves were tight, then started a higher rate of touches to ground and used ass and kept on truckin'; all good after that...HR jumped on country hills hill, then stable till home, again last 800 m sore on calves and shins
(Red and I saw horses waking up, 4 coyotes, 2 deer...the AM was wet and mild, hardly any wind and just a nice AM for a run)

At noon did:
A. FS - 4s x 3r; rest - 95/145/189/211/233
B. PS - 3 x 3 @ 133#; rest 90 sec
C. SA Db Press - 45# x 8/arm x 3; rest 1 min
D. GH Raises- 3 x 8; rest 1 min

good day all in all, Michael's b-day today, Hannah was at the dentist, Chloe is cuter every minute, and Leighanne and I went to Joey's for dinner/date...always fun spending time alone/together.
watched some Seb Coe videos last night, a coach, Cam, sent me some stuff on him today without asking, weird stuff?
Anyhow, really loved the tidbits in here on his view why his Dad as coach was a good thing, loved it.

Will have a great sleep tonight, i know it, and will be back at it in AM, bright and early.
Also found out that the Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale with 60 miles of trails is 1 mile from my place, looks like i have some running grounds to hit, good stuff.

and here is the prelims from Sac town today for the 800.
Sub 2 it is then...onward!
