2.5 mile warmup. 3.5 miles at faster pace and heart rate. The rest was a cool down jog. Running at a faster pace helped with my cadence and gait. It really started to "click" for me on this run. Really felt like a 'runner' today.

Wore my headlamp and hit the streets at night. I love these kinda runs, just all around good fun!

Ran about 5 miles with my wife. We worked on some speed stuff with her and had fun running together, as always. We split ways and I continued on. After the faster work with her, I had a hard time re-finding my groove, HR kept getting too high. I finally found my groove around mile 8 or 9. I got back to the 'quick cadence' style that I currently am using and love.

Did the "circuit" off of Tough Mudders website. Each exercise was for 1 minute straight. Every 3 exercises we would jump into the pool and do some sprint work. Probably the highlight of the week. Great group of people with very similar goals and outlooks, so much fun.
