Sun, 2/8/26-5 degrees outside. Jogged to fitness center (.25M), ran .75M on treadmill, stretched some. I then did some hills, 8 in all, using the paved surface just outside the gym. They were mostly 19s, with a 20 in there and an 18 as a finale. I took 1:30 between efforts. Jogged .25M back home.
Sat, 2/7/26-10 degrees outside. Went to the Y with V. Did a mile, stretched, lifted, and drilled!

Thurs, 2/5/26--Jogged to the Athletic Center. Ran an additional six minutes once inside. I then did some hills, 6 in all, using the paved surface just outside the gym. They were mostly 22s, with a 23 in there. I jogged 1:00 between efforts. Jogged .25M back home.

Sun, 2/1/26-118th Millrose Games. Arrived at the arena at 9:00 sharp, and my teammates were waiting. They had already gotten the bibs and other requisite materials. After getting acclimated, I jogged a bit and stretched. We'd eventually make our way to the second floor warmup hallway for stretching, striding, and burning off nervous energy.
We'd be called down to the lower level, like clockwork. We'd then be directed to head back upstairs, race-ready. We obliged. I was feeling pretty good and generally relaxed. When I took the baton for my second leg, I felt good. Heading into my second lap, I knew I had the guns to pass the guy in front of me. In so doing, I made a move on the guy in from of him, overtaking him at the 300m mark heading into the far turn. Turns out I posted a 59.82. Not bad on a bum knee and half-decent training. We (Nick, Rob, and Wally) would win the 50+ division.
