My best series yet!

Sat, 10/15-
I went to Goose Creek Park to do some Yasso-style 800s on this cool 50-degree morning.  I started at 10:30 AM.  I jogged the mile down to the park and stretched for about 12-13 minutes.  My repeats began at about 10:50 AM.  The plan was to do 8x800 in 2:40 or better, with a 2:30 rest.  I started from the bulletin board and stopped at the opposite exit, for a full .49M; we'll call it an 800!

My best series yet!

Fri, 10/14-Took off!  Tired; had too much early AM work to do.

Thurs, 10/13-Same "new" Thursday route of 6.5M.  47:59 at 5:35 AM.

Wednesday, 10/12-Running late 4.0M around Rustin and neighborhood.

Tuesday, 10/11-Went to Henderson HS for the 5:50AM workout.  The workout was 3 x 1.5M or 2 x 1.5M with a 400m jog between reps.  I felt sluggish today and it showed.  I started out with the "fast" pack, which split into two packs.  We'll call them the first group and the second group.  I stayed with the second group, and I managed only a mile on the first effort, running 5:57.  I joined the second group again, having taken a much needed break, but it was much longer than theirs.  I stepped in and ran 1.25M this time, coming across the mile in 6:00 and finishing up at 7:25. Again, I took a break, but it was shorter than the previous one.  I am pleased that I ran the entire 1.5M on the last effort.  I hit 5:50 at the mile and finished up at 8:40. Not bad.  Too bad this was likely the pace of the top group!

Monday, 10/10--Aww smack.  I cannot recall.
