Met a tbird for a very easy hill loop and used it as part of my warmup for today's repeats. 6 x 800 w 2-3 min. jogging recovery (400m jog). Goal pace 3:00-3:05
2:52/2:58/2:54/2:56/2:53/2:49 avg. = 2:54. A little quicker than goal but I had the marching band to keep me company so that may have influenced that. Solid work.

Well, this was supposed to be 4x1.5 mile w/800 recovery. Goal was 10 seconds under marathon pace. All kinds of things went wrong here. Only did 2. First one was way too fast and felt like complete crap By the end of the second one. Only my second evening run this whole cycle, so I am not used to prepping for that.

10:12; 10:41

Hopefully will feel better after a day off tomorrow.

Found out about the race this morning after I got to work. Takes place 2 blocks from my office. Ended up about where I expected. I definitely feel that I could drop some time if I worked on leg turnover. Quarter were: 1:18, 1:24, 1:25, 1:24 with a left turn in the last quarter. Course is slightly downhill.

South into the wind was free resistance training; North with the wind was a free sauna. Thought I'd avoid the Mercy Street hills by turning off Keystone early... low and behold, Grover Street lies in wait.

97% sure I went by Rudy & Booty's old Christmas Light House (66th street, south of Grover, yeah?).

Edie enlightened me as to the finer points of the golf ball route and I used it today for my own selfish tracktuesday purposes (though I did not find any golf balls).

3k-2k-2k-1k. 3k@ half marathon pace, 2k’s@10k, 1k@ 5k pace. I had the good fortune of having the downhill of the Bob to start the last 2k and Abbott Drive to start the 1k, so my paces on those were aggressive and artificially fast. I think that needs to be a dispositive factor in my race selection: downhills to make me artificially fast.

Set out to do the Mollak10 and ended up doing Pine St repeats (11 total) Up one side and down the other and then back up again. Tried to throw in some Poppleton St hills but it added too much flat. :-)

45 min of pretty good core and upper body. My hamstring is giving me troubles. Ever since my treadmill progressive run last Wednesday. It's pretty much like a rock the size of an orange. Had it worked on yesterday. And I promised I would not go to the pool today and just "rest". So, I'm cranky. And at work. That's a recipe for disaster.

Have a swell Tuesday.

This felt tough from the first step. Ugh. Huff and Puff BarbE.

Hill sprints x10 (short, steep hill, about 35 seconds)

Leg cramp on the way home. Oh well. Got it done.

Had to cut the WU and CD shorter as I was running late. Overall happy with this workout, and looking forward to Grand Island!

Awesome performances from Team USA at the Olympics! Meb never ceases to inspire me. Anyone else that was given the hand he was dealt Sunday (stomach issues, etc...) could have easily thrown in the towel, but Meb gave it all he had. And only he could have turned a slip up at the end into push ups!
