Instead of celebrating the day of the dead, I celebrate life by running.

Today is Halloween and I went for an easy 5 mile run. I choose not to celebrate Halloween. If I ruled the world, I would change it to the day we celebrate life and promote health and wellness.

7 mile run and 1x400m

I decided the best thing to do on my birthday is to go for a run. Today was a beautiful fall day so I took advantage of the nice weather and exercised. The last three days have been easy jogging and some strides. Today I put in about 7 miles and finished with a 64 second lap on the track.

Today I went to the track and did a light track session that included 1200m, 800m, 600m, 400m, 200m. I did not have a watch so I just ran hard. I ran around 5min/pace on the 1200m - 600m. Then I rand about 70/quarter pace for the 400-200m. I finished with some plyometric exercises. I cam home and replenished with a huge baby Kale and Spinach salad covered with olive oil, apple cider vinegar and chia seeds.

Track session 8x200m after 2 days off.

Today was a much needed workout. After spending hours working on electronic and music projects, I needed some good exercise. I ended up doing 8x200m @33,32,32,31,30,30,29,28 seconds. I was feeling a little stiff and it was cold and rainy. It will probably be like this in Oregon for the next 6 months.
