PM: 11+ miles. I needed a run like this- felt good, felt smooth, felt strong. Fun run!

PM: track workout with Drew and Lee. 14x400s, ended up being 15x400s. Descending rest starting at 1:30 between items spent jogging/walking, stagnating at 60 seconds, then descending in 10 second increments down to 10 seconds between the last 2 items. We accidentally did 1 too many according to my watch, which was a nice surprise since I didn't even notice. Wanted to speed up on each one all the way to the end. Felt very strong by the end of it, so I guess it's a confidence booster. Lee and Drew hung back again this week, but I appreciated the extra rest on a day like this, that's for sure.

Splits: 1:26.7, 1:24.4, 1:20.3, 1:20.6, 1:17.8, 1:16.9, 1:14.9,1:14.8, 1.16.7, 1:15.6, 1:13.9, 1:11.3, 1:12.4, 1:12.4, 1:11.0

AM: Track workout with Dow, Rick, and company.  3 sets of 4 x 300s, 1 set of 3 x 150s.  100 recovery between items, 400 recovery between sets.  A lot of standing around before items/sets, little continuity which allowed for extra rest.  I don't like having the extra recovery and had too much left at the end.

 

Set1: 53.0, 49.7, 50.4, 49.2,

Set 2: 50.0, 49.4, 48.5, 49.6,

Set 3: 50.0, 48.2, 43.9, 45.5,

Set 4: (150s): 25.0, 20.2, 21.0  (supposed to be 4 repeats, but we only did 3)

Day off.  Definitely needed it.  Cue the running withdrawals throughout the day...

Ran the opening mile leg for a 4-mile relay/race event for a charity. Our team changed a lot in the past week, losing our only other guy in 5:00 shape and he got replaced by an 8-minute miler unbeknown to me... so I wanted to go first leg instead of the last leg as originally planned, so I'd be able to have runners around me to run against. I started out fast and just tried to hold on. It was over in a flash and the baton was handed off. Proud of my run today, as I've never raced a mile before in a competition. The run was a lot of fun, and man that is a fast race. It's fun to try something new.

Estimated splits:

1st quarter: 1:06

2nd quarter: 1:10

3rd quarter: 1:13

4th quarter: 1:09
