AM- 7 miles around Edmond with kara. Easy pace about 8-8:30. Just planning on taking the next month or two easy and building miles back up very slowly. 

After my run completed my 5th day in a row of strength training since the new year. Feels pretty good. Would like to focus a little more on strength training this spring.

PM- 4 miles around OC pushing matthew. It was beautiful out, so I had to get a few more miles. Started out at 8 min and did a progressive run. Finished my at 7:02.

MLK track workout with a good group. 2 man 10 mi relay. Jason and I defended our title and finished 1st. Didn't time any of my splits but each lap was around 80-87 sec. For not running a ton lately I still felt pretty quick. Seems to me that my strength training has been pretty beneficial when its come to my fast twitch muscles.

Want to attempt to get 20 tomorrow. I know i'm not going to get it all at once but I think i'm going to hop in the 5k tomorrow around OC before I head to the gym and then once it heats up around 10-11 i'll try to get as many miles as I can.
