2 mile warm up//5 x 1000 meters w/400 meter recovery jogs//2.25 cool down. It went much better than I expected for my first track workout since the injury.

Here's my top 5 movie quotes. Love to hear some of your favorites.

5. "I AM the Senate!" (Palpatine to Mace Windu; "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith")
4. "These go to 11." (Nigel to Marty; "This is Spinal Tap")
3. "You're Abe Froman? The sausage KING of Chicago??" (Maitre D' to Ferris; "Ferris Bueller's Day Off")
2. "When YOU wuz my age?! When my old man wuz my age, my bruddah wuz my age... YOU WUZ NEVER MY AGE, NONE-A-YA'S! And the sooner you creeps get hip to that, the sooner you'll start diggin' us!" (Action to Doc; "West Side Story")
1. "Put aside the ranger, become who you were born to be!" (Elrond to Aragorn; "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King")

Song of the day: "Do You Still Believe in Me" by Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers.

Workout was supposed to be 5x(600,400)(1 min between reps, 3 mins between sets) and then another 5 200s. 600 was at 2 mile pace, 400 at mile pace. I ran out of time/gas for the 200s so I didn't do those. Felt good at the start and then the sun came out and it was rough. Hitting a bit of a hill over the railroad tracks didn't help either.

very crabby lower back this morning, made for a tough swim, especially flip turns. ouch. 4100 yards with 6 of us.
  • Edie Edie That stinks. You would think all that swimming would ward off back crabbyness.
    • posted at 12:33:00 EDT
  • baldguy baldguy Never mastered flip turns. But then never mastered anything other than the freestyle either. Kind of a one-hit wonder I guess.

  • getfuzzy getfuzzy ouch, Betsy. maybe go see someone? it makes me nervous. :((

  • Ecto1 Ecto1 Hope you get feeling better! I'm sure it's just a small glitch in the matrix. How's your trek through the radiolab archives?
    • posted at 02:53:00 EDT
  • BetzE BetzE My lower back is just a small part of my overall right side crabbiness that I do my best to try to ignore although it causes me quite a bit of pain :). ^I just listened to one about the Kenyan runners - very cool!

Thought I might get rained on but it held off until a few minutes after I got home. Good timing! I don't remember it being so dark when I woke up for Track Tuesday last week. Guess it is about that time of year.

Took it easy at the track while the guys did fast mile repeats. They looked great. I looked stiff and sore. Feeling way out of sorts. Lightning and rain made things interesting....a little bit. Ball buster workout tomorrow.

Have a great Tuesday.
