AM: Progressive run in north Tampa at Flatwoods.  I cut the run short at 13 as Anthony was hurting and I didn't want to impose since he drove.  We started super slow for a progressive at about 7:40/mile, ended up dropping Anthony who was still hurting.  We then lowered it from there pretty much down to 6:00/mile pace by the end.  I felt fine and conversational which felt nice.

Also, got to do a real run with Jonathan- wow.  If I could give him my love of running, Anthony's drive to get better, and mix it with Jonathan's talent and effort he would be Olympic-Trials-qualifying by the end of 2018 in either the half or the marathon.  I've seen talent before, but having never run in college or high school I suppose I've never seen real talent like him.  It was a pleasure to watch him glide.

PM: 7.5 miles, some with Anthony.

Late PM: A couple of more at the gym- this time a workout.  5:39/mile average on the treadmill for 4 miles and then a cooldown.  Really just wanted to watch my heart rate and see if I could control it.  It stayed in the 80-85% range, and was at 83% at the end of it.  Still not where I want to be, but it felt smooth and it was fun. 

Also did a ton of squats, abs, and biceps.  I pick things up and then I put them down.

AM: About 7 miles running with the group.  1 fast mile with Dylan, but I was a little too tired to run with the other faster guys, so I stuck with a couple of other runners and kept it at a pretty meager pace.  Very sore from yesterday's squats.  Squats are definitely no fun for runners.

PM: 8 miles with Anthony and then some kickball.  Being an adult playing kickball with other adults still beleaguers me, but it is fun.
