This morning there were a lot of people at Henderson. I guess the 68 degree weather helped somewhat. I did 6x600 with a 200 meter jog. The workout was actually 7x800 but I was still stretching when the crew started the first 600. I hung back off the first group, losing meters during the recovery...but not too many. (I trailed by no more than 50 meters at any one time.) I stuck with 2:06s, running 42 seconds per 200, except for the last one, which I ran in 2:00, or 40 seconds per 200. My 200 jogs were probably 90 seconds. This was essentially the pace of those ahead of me. I'd like to get all the 600s down to 2:00. 5 miles.
16.8 miles since Saturday.
This morning I heard about the outstanding performances of my teammates at Nationals via Bob Rimkis, who did well himself. Shout-outs to you all: Kevin, Bob, Chuck, Nick, Sean, Cheryl and others. You all did a spectacular job. What I've heard--1:56, 2:02, 2:11, 2:13, 2:36, 4:04, 4:14, 15:36, 1:07, record in the 2K steeplechase, etc. I am so envious that I was not healthy enough to [get into sufficient shape to complete the winter season and] join you. Maybe next year. I am so inspired by what you all have accomplished! Your level of intensity is beyond belief. I have to get there and get a taste of it.
