5.24 7 miles with 5 strides (46:48)
5.25 Great workout tonight. I ran to PHS only to discover a track meet so I had to run back to work. 4.5 miles easy. I then drove to the cinder track at Woodman Park in Dover and warmed up .5 mile and did 12 by 400's with about 110 meter recovery jogs (average of 33 seconds).
I was shooting for 75 seconds but ended up going faster. I never looked at my watch whie running--I just wanted to go at a comfortably fast pace. My splits were 72.04, 71.2, 73.9, 72.6, 74.07, 75.9, 73.6, 73.3, 75.07, 72.1, 71.6, 72.6. 3.75 miles of running in 21 minutes even. 1.25 cool down.
10 miles total.
I really wanted to just average 75, but the pacing I went at was not over the top. It felt pretty smooth and so I went with it.
5.26 9.5 miles (71:34) I ended up on some trails in dover and got lost! I ran about 1.5 miles more than I wanted. I felt pretty good, but my legs were a little rubbery towards the end. I plan on taking it very easy the next 2 days.
5.27 2 miles easy
5.28 3 miles easy with 4 strides at about 80 percent of top speed.
5.29 2 miles warm up. 5k in 16:12. 1 mile cool down. 6 miles total.
8.5 miles PM in 60:29
46 miles total
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?
