speed workout this morning: 
[email protected] k pace (7:45/mile), recovery jog 1 min, 
[email protected] pace(7:20/mile), recovery jog 90 second 
We warmed up 1 mile and then did the work (above) 3x. Cool down jog of .25 miles for a total of 5 miles. 
My heartrate walking out the front door was over 100 already. So, I am pretty fatigued and I think I may be getting sick. I was really glad today's speed workout was a fairly easy one. Next week is a cut back though after 2 weeks of major mileage building.....so just gotta hold on a few more days.

Hey Grizz - slow run is better than no run! How are things feeling? 
Had a 6 mile recovery run with 6x100m on the plan for today. Did just over an hour on trails with 6x100 or so on dirt road. Ahhh, life is good!

jebba · Aug 21, 2007

Only managed 1.75 miles today. The kids insist on napping at alternate times, and both seem to need alot of attention today. Oh well.

Arrojo · Aug 21, 2007

6 miles at lunch. A hot 73 degrees, despite which I felt surprisingly fast.

Road hawk · Aug 21, 2007

3.2 miles at lunch in 32:29 at 90 degrees. September where are you?? 
Arrojo what is Lester going to do tonight?

Arrojo · Aug 21, 2007

6 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned runs

Billy · Aug 22, 2007

I did 6 miles on the treadmill. 5 miles running east, and the last mile at marathon pace. 
The funny thing is, when I leave from my house, when I run west, I run east, but when I run east, I always feel like I'm running west. 
Go figure.

4 miles on the treadmill. I just wanted to curl up under a blankie, but I made myself do it anyway. We had some rumbles of thunder, so I opted for the indoor workout.

GaRebelRunner · Aug 22, 2007

8 miles tonight, most at 10 minutes per mile, but interspersed with 4 Yasso 800's at an 8 minute pace.

Grizzly · Aug 22, 2007

Jen, thanks for asking. I'm okay. I'll try for 4 tomorrow and see. 
To add insult to injury, based on recent times I was registered in the Corporate Challenge by my running buddies at work and had the fastest time for the company team predicted for the 10k (43 mins.). Ha! As if. 
I pulled out of the official competition today - the race is in 3 weeks.

sistergoldenhair · Aug 22, 2007

Cross-training today -- took spinning class. Indoors, no bra ice needed.

roots · Aug 22, 2007

No speed tonight, all easy miles. 
Run 10, cycle 11.

duckgeek · Aug 22, 2007

A little over 4 miles at lunch today. 
A little under 4 miles running to/from work tonight.
