Trying to improve my running

Ran on the trail by my house this morning. I was able to go with Juli and her sister. It was a great day and beautifyl trail at sunrise. I had wanted to take Juli on this trail fro a long time.

Ran with the grinders. We did 14x400m tempo runs. I was supposed to do them in 1:40 here were my times: 1:39, 1:38, 1:38, 1:39, 1;36, 1:34, 1:40, 1:40, 1:37, 1:37, 1:38, 1:37, 1;34, and 1:36. That would make my time 22:43 for the 3.5 miles I did. that would make my 5k time 20:07. I guess I will see how I can do tomorrow.

This was the 2nd time I have ran the egg nog jog and we ran it as a family again. it was a lot of fun yet again. This year i decided I should let my wife run unencumbered and push the stroller (which happened to have a flat tire). This slowed me down a significant amount. I was also feeling less than 100% due to a cold. I did manage to win the stroller division by about 10 minutes i saw the next stroller when i went back to find my family and they were back by my daughter who finished at 34 minutes.  My daughter and wife both had PRs 34:16 and 30:27.

Ran the local trail. It is nice to be able to go out during the daylight.

Easy run around the neighborhood with Juli. last 2 miles were faster because I had to run home quickly for a bathroom emergency.

Nice easy run with several guys from the ragnar group.
