7.12.10---47 minutes (6 miles)
7.13.10---this was a killer workout and I cant believe I did it--1 mile warm up---12 by 400s with 200 meter jog recovery (average of about 75 seconds) 75, 73, 74, 74, 75, 72, 73, 73, 75, 73, 73, 71--1.5 miles cool down.
I had originally thought I could maybe average 77 or so with this workout--but the first lap felt so easy I decided to push it--Im psyched! Total of 7 miles
7.14.10--6 mile progression run--first 1.5 miles at 7:20 pace, then 1.5 miles in roughly 5:40 pace, then the same thing repeated--tough run but worthwhile--6 miles in 39:24.
7.15.10 11 miles 82 minutes---
7.16--1 mile warm up--very humid so I had to change this workout a bit to accomodate for the heat---4 by 800 with 400 recovery (2:15) 2:35, 2:35, 2:34, 2:34; half mile recovery; 2 by 400's with 200 recovery (75) 69, 69; half mile recovery; 4 by 200's with 200 recovery (75) 31,31,32,30; 1.25 mile cool down. 8 miles total.Very warm and muggy and this week is a pretty hard workout week, so I'm somewhat pleased.
7.17---5 miles--recovery run --40 minutes
7.18.10--OFF
43 Miles total for the week
As a youth, I ran, yet I did not exist in a sense. 19 years passed. Today, I exist in one sense because I must run. Perhaps I run to escape the futility of my existence. Perhaps not. In either case, this blog, or whatever it is, will serve to chronicle my training as a runner, my development as a man, and ultimately my demise as a human, because all things pass, fade, retreat into the horizon--and while we run, as we run, the mirage that is the shimmering, glimmering future continues to assert itself just out of reach. And yet, as this picture up above connotes, it may still be beautiful. And so the question may be what is IT? What is it? What is IT?
