THIS IS MY 1000TH POST!
Wed, 8/10-I may head to the YMCA after work for a little running and stretching in preparation for tomorrow's mile race at WC Henderson. http://bringbackthemile.com/calendar/detail/west_chester_mile
Tuesday, 8/9-I dragged myself out of bed at 4:55AM to head to WC Henderson by 5:35AM for a 5:50 workout. The workout was simple and "easy" enough: mile at tempo pace, 400 jog/rest, followed by 2x 300 meters, the first four seconds above mile race pace, the second one at mile race pace. We were to do a 100 meter jog between the 300s.
Kevin said the top group should come in at around 6:00 for the tempo mile.
I figured that meant about 6:20 for me, about 95 seconds per lap. My mile felt sluggish, especially the first 800 meters. 1:35, 1:34 (3:09), 1:31(4:40), 1:32 (6:12). Marcy and Kate and someone else whose name I don't know account for the negative split. They passed me by surprise, and I just tucked in with them.
The top group, minus Scott, seemed to finish up between 5:55 and 5:57.
Monday, 8/8--took off
