9.7 3 miles warm up. Then 4 by 400's at comfortably fast pace with 400 recovery jogs at faster pace than normal. 2 mile cool down.
Splits were 71.47 (97:65), 70.87 (94:48), 69.95 (94:60), 68.67 (90:88). Total time of 10:58 for two miles.
I'm very satisfied with this workout. It was not supposed to be brutal and it wasn't.
7 miles total.
9.8 4 miles easy.
9.9 4 miles easy. Im prepped for tomorrow's 5 miler!
9.10 2 miles warm up. 5 miles in PR of 25:51. .5 mile cool down.
Wow--this is exciting. I went out hard at 4:51, then followed it with splits of 5:11, 5:11, 5:23, 5:15. I felt very good in this race and took it out hard--Bob Wiles Style--in an effort to see who could match me. My splits were fairly even with number 4 a little bit off, but there were tons of hills in that mile.
My hard work is paying off and I am very grateful for it.
7.5 miles for the day.
9.11 4.25 miles easy.
37.25 miles for the week Great race and a short little track workout--kind of a recovery 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?
