Mon, 9/19-

Went to the trail and did a nice five miler.

Sun, 9/18-On this cool 45-degree morning, I met with the crew at GA. The plan was to do a 300mTT, followed by a short workout. The 300TT was really at Rob's request. After a decent warmup, I did a couple of 100s. Based on how I felt, I wasn't confident about the 300. I had hoped to run in the 40-sec range. So much for that. 

Starting from the 300 IH mark, I took lane 2, Rob was in lane 2, while John was in 3, Bruce in 4, and Wayne (our started) in 5. The start "happened"to me. I did not attack it. Rob, to my immediate right, stopped in his tracks, quipping that he hadn't hit his watch in time! 

At the 100 mark, I had not made any ground on John. As we hit the 150 mark, I had passed Bruce, who would eventually stop at the 200 mark. John was still five meters ahead of me. And this is how we'd finish. I crossed in 41-mid, while John likely hit 40-high. 

Taking mercy on Rob, I accepted his invitation to run another, this one targeted to be 45. Wayne joined in the fun, surprising himself when he completed the entire 300. I crossed in 46-low, while Rob posted something in the 47-range.

We then did a few 150 pick-ups. 9 sec first 50, 8 sec second 50, 7 sec third 50. 

Coffee time!

Sat, 9/19-Went on run with V. Did 3.5M, then walked a mile or two more.
