Saturday, 4/18--I did an easy 2.2 in 18:30 nd stretched, knowing I had a 5K on tap for Sunday.

Friday, 4/17--I continued some mild sprint work. After a 1-mile warm-up, I go myself ready for 3 200s and 3 150s. I was supposed to go 29, 28, 27 for the 200s, followed by a 200 meter walk. The 150s were supposed to be progressive (i.e., I was suppposed to begin the 150 with more of a stride and accelerate through the rest.) My 200s were 28, 27, 27. After a 400 meter walk, I got ready for my 150s. The first 150 I forgot all about the pattern I was supposed to follow of getting faster through the distance. I ran 19 sec. I then realized I was supposed to run the first 50 in 8 sec, the second in 7, and the third in 6 for a time of 21 sec. My last two seemed to proceed in this fashion, as I finished them in just under 21 sec. I felt pretty good.

Thursday, 4/16--I did my standard 1-mile warm up. On taps were 300s in preparation for Penn Relays next week. They were nothing to write home about, especially the first one, which was a pedestrian 48/49 seconds. The rest were 43/44s. I gave myself adequate rest...about 5 minutes. I cooled down 1 mile.
