Running on my heels

Monday--I ran the 4.4 double Rustin loop again. I ran a minute slower than I had on Saturday.

4:25 Half
8:45 Mile
16:50 2 mile
18:20 2.2 (1 loop)
22:00 2.7
25:55 3.2 (7:25)
33:10(14:40) 4.2 (7:15)
34:30 (16:10) 4.4

This time I really felt like I was running on my heels!

Tomorrow I will have to see whether I am ready for a Tuesday workout at Henderson or if I should just play it safe. I could my customary run and lift. I am a little reticient about running to Penn Oaks since it's an out and back run, and I could run into some trouble and have to call it quits, in which case the walk home would be time-consuming.

Sunday, July 26th--Despite feeling a bit sore from yesterday, my son and I made our way to the track at Penncrest for a near-repeat of what we did last Saturday. Instead of doing 8X400 (@ 70 w/2-min Int and #s 2,5,8 @ 63), I decided to run with him and do 8x 350. We hit all of the times. The third 350 was 68, and the last one was 64. Well, actually I did a 400 for the last one and caught my son with about 30 meters to go. The rest between 6 and 7 and 7 and 8 were off a bit because he got light-headed and needed water on repeat 7. The rest wound up being 2:45. The rest between 7 and 8 was botched because my son started prematurely and had to be brought back to begin again. This made for another 2:45 or so rest. OK workout for me overall; good workout for him. He should be on pace to run in the low to mid 2:20s for the 800.

Saturday, July 25th--I ran 4.4, albeit hobbling the first 2.2. I ran 33:30, 7:37/mile pace.
