7.25 5.5 miles easy.
7.26 2.75 miles warm up, including strides. 1 by 600; 3 by 400's, 3 by 200's. 2.5 mile cool down. 400 recovery after 600 and 400's and 200 recovery after 200's.
1:45, 67, 66, 67, 31, 31, 31.
Overall, I felt decent. I havent done a track workout in a while, because I was trying to rest my legs after probably overtrianing the last 4 months or so with too many hard workouts each week. The fact I was at 67 and under for the 400's was encouraging. I jogged at under 8 minute pace for the recoveries.
8 miles total.
7.27 6 miles easy (44 minutes)
7.28 6.5 miles easy.
7.29 Off
7.30 2 miles easy.
7.31 2 mile warm up. 5k in a personal record of 15:42 (1st place). 2 miles cool down. This was a race where I wanted to go out hard and never look back. I went out in 4:59, 5:12, 5:03 with 28 second last .1. I am psyched as I ran completely alone in this one and felt strong throughout until about the 2.5 mile mark where my legs started to feel heavy. I really pused it from 2 to 2.5, because people were cheering and I got carried away and started to fly! I beat my high school PR of 15:47, which was set in 1990, so this was a pretty exciting race.
7 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?
