Tuesday March 27th workout reports

Flounder · Mar 27, 2007

Screwed up day for me 
I slept late. Then I checked the weather 53F no Winds - Perfect - Spent way too long in the bathroom, now even shorter on time - 
Started running, was pushing it a little in the warmup mile - Time was 8:06 It didn't feel that slow (Maybe I hit a time space distortion) - 
Decided to go to the track (2.5 miles away) - I did a 2x 1200, 800, 400 and 200 - They all felt really bad and really slow. 
Had to run to the woods and use my emegency toliet paper - Ran 1 mile through the trails as long as I was there (Very nice) 
- Ran home - The no wind turned into a tailwind (north) of 10+ mph. 
AS far as I can tell the run was Bad-Good-Bad-Bad-Bad-Bad-Good-Good 
It ended on 2 good notes, so I will call it a nice 10 miler <img alt="icon_compress.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_compress.gif"> 
PS - I am soooo happy, that I am no longer a 5k runner - that is not a distance I like.

Looks like se started threads at the same time, Flounder! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> I deleted mine. 
Sorry to hear that not everything went like you hoped, but it looks like you found the positives in your morning run. Good job! 
Here's my post: 
I need a nap. Tough track workout this morning. It was dark, cool, and sprinkly, so that felt nice. 
1 mile warm up 
3x1600 - 6:48, 6:52, 7:05 
4x200 - :44, :45, :43, :43 
1 mile cool down 
Total workout, with recoveries = 7.5 miles 
I am super excited about my times on my 1600s. I have been trying and trying to get under 7 minutes. I have been able to get under a 7 min/mi in the first mile of one or two races, but never on the track. I can't believe I was able to do it twice this morning. I didn't have it in me to go all out on the 3rd one and it was still a good time. I'm pleased. 
Have a great day everyone!

Can we all maybe just start today over OR take a nap OR both? 
11 miles in 1:34 even. 
Supposed to do 6x1000 metres at 5k race pace. Did 5 and then 2 x 500 metres at 5k race pace because I was dead. Done. Expired. Gone to meet my maker. Suffled off this mortal coil. Run down the curtain. Joined the choir invisible. Bereft of life, I rested in peace... I'd snuffed. Vis-a-vis the metabolic processes I'd had my lot. 
You get the picture. Hung on for 3 miles at the end at about an 8:50 pace, but it wasn't pretty. 
15 miles tomorrow in the snow. Snow? 
Can we all maybe just start today over OR take a nap OR both?

Gingerbread · Mar 27, 2007

Good runs both of you! 
I ran 5 miles yesterday afternoon in 52:02. Had to use my non-existent emergency TP about 1/2 way. I went before I ran, too! I have to time my water drinking better! 
My ITB started bothering me at about 4.25 miles. The last 3/4 mile was painful, even though I stopped to stretch. Sigh.

Flounder · Mar 27, 2007

Hey Grizzly - You worked hard and your body will recover and be stronger for it. Don't let one day define your current fitness 
I admire you for working hard and making the best of what your body had to offer "Today". 
aphigirl01 - Congratulations - Some days you get the long end of the stick <img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif"> I bet you could have run all of them in 6:54, but you drained yourself a little with that 6:48 1st 1600. It won't be long and you will do them all sub 6:50. 
Gingerbread - ITB - Those of us who struggle with it are grimacing with you. 
I vote for the nap - At least I can dream about fast running

Gingerbread · Mar 27, 2007

<img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Grimace is right, sometimes if I run 'just so' the pain is less. I don't always know what 'just so' is...thanks for sharing my pain!

5 easy @ 8:04 pace 
{{GB's ITB}}

Liam3494 · Mar 27, 2007

First run in a month! I have been oh so idle (and busy elsewhere too!), but no excuses, and with the lighter evenings, an easy 2.25 get back into jog at 9 minute pace along the quayside. 
Now feel dead <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Potty Humor---> 
sorry to smirk at your misery folks: 
but it is kind of refreshing for me to see others who need to dive into bushes and use their emergency toilet paper 
...just imagine doing that over and over every time you go out for a run edited to remove jewish soccermom rant

Flounder · Mar 28, 2007

wherestheportojohn - At least it gets better when the leaves start to fill in for visual cover <img alt="icon_colors.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_colors.gif"> It is one of the reasons I run indoors all winter - They close the park bathrooms from @ October 1st to sometime in April. 
Hey Grizzly - I skipped my lunch time run in favor of a nap! <img alt="icon_flower.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_flower.gif">

Hi everyone,

Right now I'm focusing on not doing anything stupid before the weekend.

Martin · Mar 28, 2007

Hello, 
My name is Martin, and I ran today. 
Yes, I RAN. 
The last time was January 6th. And then the snow made the roads slippery and I realised that when I run on slippery roads I get tendinitis in the (left) hip. It took me 2 years to figure this out. 
So I started again tonight. 1,5 kilometer in about 9:30. 
I love running.

sistergoldenhair · Mar 28, 2007

I swam 1600 m this afternoon -- a mix of breaststroke (my favorite), backstroke (least favorite), various kick drills, and mostly freestyle laps.

duckgeek · Mar 28, 2007

Wild and wacky training day. 
Jogged to Hayward Field and warmed up: 
8:09 mi 
7:34 mi 
1:46 for .2 (8:40 pace) 
My friend Ken showed up and we ran to get him warmed up: 
8:14 mi 
2:51 for .35 (8:08 pace) 
800m intervals with 400m rest: 
2:54 (5:52 pace) 
2:52 (5:47) 
2:51 (5:45) 
Decided that was enough of that. One more at a more reasonable pace: 3:08 (6:19) 
Cool down: 
7:29 mi 
Jog home: 
4:46 for .55 mi (8:38 pace). 
Totals (not including recovery): 
7.1 miles 52:38 
It's nice to have someone to run intervals with, especially since I don't know what I'm doing. Plus he's faster than me so he makes a nice rabbit.

Tuesday was a XT/weight lifting day for me.
