my way home

Tuesday--5:50 workout at Henderson. 3x (Mile, 100m jog, 400m) with 300m jog between sets.

I arrived at the track in good time, leaving enough to warm up and stretch for more than 3 minutes!  I felt a little sluggish today, though, having done nearly 10M yesterday. I shook it off, however, knowing I had to get myself into gear to have a decent showing at the workout. 

I began with the top group: Kevin, Scott, John, Manion and Ed.  The first mile was in 5:57, a few seconds ahead of my time.  Ironically, they began to pull away from me when they did the 400 less than a minute later.   I just kept at it, knowing I needed to make it through with my brick legs.  In the end, here is what I managed.

6:02, 1:24
6:02, 1:21
5:59, 1:18

This is a far cry from what the top guys did, as they dipped into the 5:30s for the last mile.  Scott wound up doing a fourth set, with a 5:18 mile and a 67 quarter.  Wow!

Monday--Dropped car off, then headed into the Borough, assuming the first portion of the Thursday route we do.  I eventually made my way home, running 9.75M in 71:55--7:22 pace.

Sun--5.7M in 40:20--about 7:05 pace
