They're deceptively challenging.

Sun, 10/13-Met up with some of my teammates at Deer Path Park in NJ, in preparation for next week's 5K masters championships.  We warmed up the length of the course, a double-loop.  I stretched just a dot before Scott Landis invited me to run a section of the course (about 720m).  I did it three times (2:31, 2:32, 2:28); Scott did the court on his own.  After all, I had worked out yesterday and Scott had not.

The course id doable, but the hills aren't to be taken lightly.  They're deceptively challenging.

Sat, 10/12-Went to Westtown School's track to do 6x800 with a 2-min rest (100m walk/100m jog).  I initially thought that I might do 1000s on the XC course at Rustin.

Warm-up was ok, but I felt tight and my legs felt heavy.

I thought that I would be able to run 2:40 or better, but after the first one I realized sub 2:40 was too ambitious.

2:48 (81/87)
2:45 (81/84)
2:46 (82/84)
2:44 (81/83)
2:45 (82/83)
2:32 (75/77)
