but i was able to rebound

11/28/10--I started to do my usual trek to Penn Oaks, but I bagged it, managing only 2.2 miles, a Rustin loop-plus. I decided that I didn't want to burn 90 minutes when I knew my family wanted to spend some additional time with family before the week started again. I wound up throwing the football with my son and then son and daughter, and then we took a drive around Unionville. What beautiful country roads peppered with horse farms. The estates weren't bad either.

11/27/10--My plan was to do Russian intervals: 5x (3x300m @ 48 w/100m jog at 30-sec) Jog 800m between sets. However, I realized that such a workout was too ambitious for someone who is still trying to get rid of the soreness from Thursday's football game. I also realized that 30 seconds' rest, even under the best of circumstances, would be impossible. So, I decided to do 5x (2x300m @ 48 w/100m walk at 75-sec). I ran 49, 49; 49, 49; 49, 48; 48, 48; 48, 46. I suffered a crisis of confidence early in the workout but I was able to rebound. The next time I try this I'll either do sets of 3 300s with the same amount of rest (75 sec) or I'll do sets of 2 300s with less rest time (e.g., 60 sec). Overall, I felt pretty good about the workout.
