Saturday, 8/21

Running late. Had to go to Penn for a seminar. Wound up doing a short fartlek. 5:00 jog (.6) to mark. Covered XC course (3.15) in 21:20. 5:00 min jog back home. Sun, 8/15-Sat, 8/21--> 37 miles

Sunday, 8/22
Had to go to Penn, but did not need to show up until 10ish. Was able to get in workout of 10x400 in the rain, which was sometimes pretty heavy.

Goal pace was :77 with a 200 jog/rest (1:25). I hit the first in :78. The second one was :76. The next five were :75. I then decided to do the last three a little faster, provided I walked the 200s in-between. The 8th 400 was in :69. The last two were :68 and :67.

Monday, 8/23
Not much time. Running really late. Did only 2.2 miles.

Tuesday, 8/24
Henderson. The workout was 1600, jog 200, 800, 1600, jog 200, 800. This workout proved harder than I thought. The top group exceeded the agreed upon pace. I fell off the pace slightly on the second 1600. Instead of jogging the 200 between the second 1600 and second 800, I walked. My back was bothering me. Honestly. Anyway my runs were 5:42, 2:48, 5:38, 2:38. I joined the group on its second lap of the 800, pushing them I guess. I am still gathering myself. Give me time.
