At least I got free chocolate milk and a frozen turkey for second place!

Wed, 11/14-

Did a 5.74M run in 39:40...about 6:55/mile pace.

M1: 7:25
M2: 7:05
M3: 6:51
M4: 6:48
M5: 6:40
M6: 6:40 pace

Tues, 11/13

On this cold, rainy, wintry day, I took a page out of Peter Brady's playbook with 12x400, assuming a 200m jog/rest equal in time as the 400m run. Peter and his friend ran these babies in 75 seconds. Running alone and being not as good as Peter, I set my target at 79...and thus my rest at about 80. Three weeks ago, I managed 80, 80, 81, 81, 81, 80, 79, 80, 79, 78, 78, 74

Today, in the cold rain I did 79, 79, 80, 79, 79, 79, 79, 78, 79, 78, 77, 72. I did better in the rain.


Mon, 11/12-took off

Sun, 11/11-

Ran the Somerset Turkey Trot at Colonial Park in Franklin Township. A couple hundred people competed on this brisk morning. 

After being gapped by about 20 meters over the first 100 meters, I would not recover. Over the first mile, the gap stood at about 40 meters. It opened to about 80 meters at about mile 2. By the time we reached the third mile, it stood at 150 meters. 

Mile 1: 5:43
Mile 2: 5:53
Mile 3: 6:00+

I finished up this long, 3.18M course in a disappointing 18:30. At least I got free chocolate milk and a frozen turkey for second place!
