Hiked a mountain with family for 2 1/2 hours. Didn't jog, yet felt the benefit equivalent to 8-10 miles. I'm counting it as 5.

1 warm-up, 3 firm (6:53, 6:46, 6:41), and the 3 home slowly. Really starting to feel close to good running shape for the first time in over 6 years. This pandemic has helped me to focus on better discipline in both eating and running. Hopefully I can keep this up through summer.

AM- Cracked out a new pair of Freedom Iso's from Saucony. Never used them. Like kinvara's so hope to find them similiar w/tad bit extra cushioning as I anticipate moving towards long-run training. Ran 7 slowly. 

PM- Another 6 miles, including 2 mile tempo at 7:26 pace.
