Thursday-Yuck. Went into the town to join the crew of crazies. The workout, beginning about 10:30 into the run, was 16 x 30 seconds on (hard), 30 seconds off (easy). This amounted to about 15:30 of effort. We started at about S. Brandywine and Juniper, which was about 1.6M/10:30 into the run. I could've ended at E. Chestnut and Plum Alley in about 26:00, but I kept going to N. Penn for 26:30.
Wednesday-Y. sets sets of 6:00 of running at 7:00 pace/4 min of lifting. Sickly.
Tuesday-Henderson in early AM (workout at 5:50). Three workouts to choose from: 4x800 with 200 meter jog, 6x800 with 200 meter jog, or 8x800 with 200 meter jog. Tried to do the advanced workout. Wound up doing 4 800s, taking off #5, and doing the last 3 800s, for a total of 7.
2:55, 2:55, 2:55, 2:55, 2:50, 2:50, 2:35. Not feeling well still.
Monday-took off
Sunday-Michele's Miles
Arrived in plenty of time to warm up.
Was 48 degrees or so when we arrived. Very windy.
Warmed up a bit more than a mile.
Stretched in the field house.
Went to and from the track area.
Windy day and a little soggy still.
Got out well, leading the first 200m.
Guy pulled up beside me. Stayed together as we neared the mile.
Reached the mile in 5:30.
Two guys passed me, one being one of my students, JC.
Hung within 20m of the guys number quarter mile.
I then started feeling bad. Weak.
Hit mile 2 in 11:45, more than 30 seconds slower than last year.
Lost significant ground over mile 2.
Was about 50 meters behind the student at the tennis courts, 100 meters behind runner 2, and 150 meters behind runner 1.
Couldn't cut the distance over the final 325 meters.
Ran 18:35. Sucked! Evidently, I was pretty sick and still am. I knew something was awry.
