AM: 14 miles, 8 of us running, so I went more than the planned 10 just to stay with people.  Going to be an easy week for running.

PM: 9 miles, most with John.  I went after three segments today, a 200m sprint, a 1.5 mile tempo, and a 0.6 mile VO2 effort.  The last one was the most challenging.  I took out the 200m sprint twice by two seconds each time- I wasn't quite sure where it started, and being so short, a couple of seconds could make a difference.  The long one was easy, I dropped it by about 1:40 total, and it covers part of the third one I was attempting.  The third one- I'm 99% sure was done by a guy on a bicycle, but it seemed fun to try to take it out while running.  I dropped it by about 15 seconds.  I was shocked I got that one so easily.  The pace I needed was like a 4:36/mile avg pace, but I launched two incredibly fast quarter miles (63 followed by a 64) before dying at the end.  John tried to help me at the end of that one, but I was pretty pooped and rolled in on fumes.

Needless to say, I've found a new hobby for the moment at least.  I truly am a bit irrationaly peeved by the cyclists' times on these segments however.  3:20 mile average for 3/4 of a mile?  Okay, Hicham El Guerrouj.  I have avoided running some of the segments my friends own, at least for now.  I think it would be fun if we filled up the screen or at least tried to, in our city.

In any event, I've found something to do that feeds my competitive side.  Thanks Joe!
