Wednesday, May 18--Tried my luck at some 200s in the slight wind and steady rain. I was going to go to the Y again, but I changed my mind at the last minute.
My plan for the 200s (in regular flats) was 6x200 in 32 with a 90-second 200 jog-rest and then 6x200 in 30 with a 90-second 200 jog-rest. I'd walk a 200 between sets and take a 3-minute rest. My runs were 31,32,32,32,32,32; 29,30,30,31,31,29. Short cool down.
Tuesday, May 17--
Went to the Y since it was mad-raining. I wound up trying to recreate the workout I had at Henderson last Tuesday: 1 mile (good pace); 400 rest; then 6x400 with 200 jog/rest. I warmed up on the 16-laps-to-a-mile indoor track. Not bad. I stretched some and then made my way to the treadmill area. There were quite a few people about, many of them running pretty hard. Anyway, I hit 5:45 for the mile. As I tackled the 400s, I realized that the treadmill not only topped out at 5:00 per mile, it took too long to reach top speed. So...I wound up setting the treadmill at max and just did the best I could to simulate moderately paced 400s. The treadmill seemed far more robust than the ones I used at Penn Oaks. Mile cool down. Home.
Monday, May 16--Did 5.2, I believe.
Sunday, May 15--DJ and I ran to the Y from our house for the first time. Talk about a hilly run! We got there, oriented ourselves and lifted together. We took about 28:30 for the 3.8 miles there and a bit longer coming home. He struggled a bit on the way back. What am I going to do to get him to get himself into better shape? He is a distance runner, you know!
