Not quite where I want to/should be.

Wed, 7/31-Drove to the trail with Bria this morning for an easy 5. Averaged 9:00/mile for first 2.5M (down); averaged about 8:20/mile for final 2.5M (back). 8:41 pace.

And I may not have Lyme after all, per doc. Second opinion needed!?!

Tues, 7/30-Went to campus for 3 sets of 2 150s at 400 race pace. 2:00 between efforts, 6:00 between sets.

21-low; 20-high
20-mid; 20-low
20-high; 20-mid

Not quite where I want to/should be.

Mon, 7/29-Went to the Y, biked 3+ miles, then lifted. Not feeling' it!

Effortful

Sun, 7/28-

Planned on easy 7M run on trail with Bri. Did 5.62M, walked .58M, then finished last .8M. 9:13/min pace.

Sat, 7/27-

Decided not to do the Phoenixville meet, opting instead to work out locally. Did 6x150m in 600m race pace (22-low) with 3' rest. Goal was to work on form. I wound up running between 21-low and 21-mid.

Fri, 7/26-took off

Thurs, 7/25-took off

Wed, 7/24-took off. Decided against meet at Henderson

Tues, 7/23-Hit Pingry's track for what should have been an easy pre-race workout of 50m strides. I felt terribly. Running 7 seconds on each of the 50s felt effortful.

Just to think

Sun, 7/21-

Went to Skillman on this heat-wave day for 4.5M. Had to stop after first loop to hydrate. Started at about 8:10 pace and worked my way down to 7:30. Can't wait until this 4.5M at 7:45 pace feels like a recovery run!

Sat, 4/20-Made my way to the track for a repeat of what I did last Saturday: 3 sets of 2 150s at a target of 20.62 (55-sec 400m pace), given that I'm not 100% on account of Lyme and hamstring. Also, I'm getting used to my orthotics, including the homemade set for my spikes!

Set 1: 21.2, 21.1 
Set 2: 21.4, 21.0
Set 3: 20.0, 20.5

Looks like I'm ready to run 56, not much faster. Damn. Just to think: a month ago I was on pace to break 54!

homemade

Thus, July 18-4M run on trail in 31:00. Started at 8:20/mile and finished at 7:00/mile.

Wed, July 17-Workout was supposed to be 320m time trial in target time of 43.2, rest 12 min, and 200m time trial in 26.5. Wearing my homemade orthotics for spikes (not the real ones for my shoes and sneakers), the 320 did not go as planned. My foot moved all around in my black Adidas spikes, and I felt super flat. 45.2--beyond disappointing. I switched into my old Nike spikes for the 200, and inserted my homemade orthotics. Much better. 26.4.
