Took it easy with my heavy legs.

3/17--went to Westtown School to do some pick-up reps: 8x 400m @ 70 w/2:45 (200m walk) interval and #s 2,5,8 @ 63. The weather was a balmy 63 degrees. I thought the coincidental 63 degrees was a sign that my workout would ring with the same number, at least on the 2nd, 5th and 8th 400s. Boy was I wrong. After the first 400 in a sluggish 71 sec, I knew I had a long workout ahead of me. The 2nd 400 was in 65-flat.

#3--71
#4--70
#5--stopped 40 seconds into it...with a little less than 150m to go; I was on 63 second pace. I felt like an idiotic turd, a whimp for stopping. I took only 2 minutes rest, walking 150m, and went right into #6
#6--70
#7--70
#8--63, but barely! FINALLY

I cooled down a bit, picked up Bria and returned to the track to work with her on some sprinting. My "part 2" consisted of a warm-up of 800, light stretching, a few sprint drills, a 16-second 100 (with Bria), and an 800m cool down.

3/16--Ran 4.5M in 35:00. Took it easy with my heavy legs.

3/15--Like last Thurs,I ran 100s at 6 AM. This time I had time for only 12. The idea was to run 3 in 15s, 3 in 14s, 3 in 13s, and 3 in 12. Hit most of the times, but didn't feel that sharp. Was especially disappointed with the 13.1, 13.0, and 12.8I ran for the 100s that were supposed to be in the 12-sec range.
