8.9--7 miles total. 1.5 mile warm up, then 1 mile in 5:07 (400 meter recovery); 800 in 2:28 (200m recovery); 800 in 2:30 (200m recovery); 4 by 400s with 200m recoveries at 72, 71, 71,71. 1.5 mile cool down. Tough workout, especially since I have been upping my mileage, but I feel good about it.
8.10 7.5 miles in 59 minutes. Recovery Day. I ran slow and it felt slow, which it should have. Easy run and I needed it after the last 2 weeks, especially since I have been cross training with mountain biking. Im encouraged by how I feel. 7:50 pace tonight and I figured I was running at 9 minutes per mile by how it felt!
8.11 6 miles in 39 minutes. 8 minutes slow, 2 minutes fast. I felt sluggish but must have been going fast during my sprints, which were at about 85 percent.
8.12 Recovery day. 6 miles in 49:39
8.13 OFF
8.14 2 miles warm up. 5k in 16:23 (2nd Place) 3 miles cool down 8 miles am. 7.5 miles pm in 56 minutes. 15.5 miles total for the day.
8.15 15 miles. first 7.5 in 55:08; second 7.5 miles in 49:21. Total 1:44:29.
57 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?
Geez man...nice workout.
