AM: Raced Ivan to school this morning (.5 mile) and then did 1 more mile after that. Starting back up training today after 16 days off.

PM: 6.2 Base Miles in 43:13 (6:58s) a bit faster than I wanted to be, but the legs were probably just a bit anxious after over 2 weeks off. Beautiful day at 3:30, around 55 degrees and calm. I'm going to follow Matt Fitzgerald's suggestions in Brain Training for Runners about Proprieceptve Cues and Resistance/Flexibility Training. As such, I did 2 drills after the run today. 1) 100 meter runs (probably around 400 meter speed) with no arms (holding arms in a circle in front of my chest) and 2) 20 seconds hopping as fast as possible on each foot. I did 5 sets of both drills with jogging returns to the start line (drills probaly equivalent to 1 mile running).

Had a nice enjoyable chat and jog with my brother-in-law today at the Turkey Day Run. Weather was beautiful, sunny and about 45 degrees or so. We ran and talked training as we did. Although it was officially a race, both of us are just getting back into training after a brief period off between training seasons. Did a 1/2 mile warm up before the race.

Crisp, sunny day at 8am, 41 degrees. Ran 6.6 over moderately hilly course, hitting the hills hard. Hit about 8 hills ranging from 100 to 250 yards long. Run time was 47:03 (7:08s).

Following Fitzgerald's plan, doing a week 1 resistance workout.
