I haven't posted in a while

Fri, 9/5/25-took off; early morning work

Thurs, 9/4/25-Did a modest track workout: 6x200 with 3' min rest. The target pace was 33. After a slow, stiff start (35-low), I got my act together with a string of 33s, ending with 32. 

Wed, 9/3/25-Same as yesterday.

Tues, 9/2/25--Farm run, followed by a loop around part of campus. 2.55M. Slow pace, but I still felt the effort.

Mon, 9/1/25-2M loop.

Sun, 8/31/25-Went to the track for 3x200 with 200m walk/3:00 rest, followed by 3x150 with 150m walk/2:30 rest, and 3x100 with 100m walk/2:00 rest. After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. 33-mid, 33-low, 32-high. I went into the 150 figuring 23s would be appropriate. So I managed 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high. The target for my 100s was 15. So, I hit 15-mid, 15-low, 14-high.

Sat, 8/30/25-Went to the Y with V. Mile in 10:30, stretched for 5 min, mile in 8:30, lifted/stretched for 10 min. Bumped into a familiar face.

Thurs, 8/28/25-I set to complete 4x200 with 200m walk/3:30 rest, followed by 4x150 with 150m walk/2:30 rest. After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. 33-mid, 33-low, 32-high, 32-mid. I went into the 150 figuring 23s would be appropriate. So I managed 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high, and 22-mid.

their last three

Sun, 8/24/25-Went to GA today to meet up with the gang. I wound up joining a few guys partway into their workout: 800, 400, 200, 200, 200. All efforts were supposed to be at mile pace, I believe. They were supposed to take a minute's rest after the 800, five minutes' rest after the 400, and 45 seconds' rest after each 200. I joined the group after the 800. While I don't know for sure, they took more than a minute after the 800. I did the 400 in 76, trailing behind Jeff Conway and Federico. We took a five minute rest. The 200s were supposed to be in 38 or so. Nope. Jeff and Federico shot out like cannons and ran 31! I came in at 33. We took about 90 seconds to recover. The next one was calmer. I ran 35. After what seemed like over a minute's rest, the last one was like the first. I hit 31. Jeff and Federico were a second or so ahead. Technically, we were finished, but I joined the sprinters doing 50s. I managed their last three.

Sat, 8/23/25-took off.

finish what he started

Fri, 8/22/25-

2M loop counterclockwise. 16:55 (8:30; 8:25)

Thurs, 8/21/25-

Peter Kashulines and I connected today on campus for a morning workout. His plan was 4 x (400, 300, 200 with a 3' jog rest). He's a guy who appreciates an extended warm up, so by the time we got going I figured I had time for just two sets. Moreover, I had only two sets in me to begin with! The seemingly modest paces accumulate! 

400: 1:16; 300: at one second per 100m faster than the 400...54; 200: at one second per 100m faster...34. I hit 77, 55, 34 and 77, 54, 34. I left Peter at the track to finish what he started!

this morning was soupy

Sun, 8/18/25-

Like last Sunday, I set to complete 4x200 with 200m walk/3:30 rest, followed by 4x150 with 150m walk/2:30 rest. After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. 33-mid, 33-low, 32-high, 32-mid. I went into the 150 figuring 23s would be appropriate. So I managed 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high, and 22-mid.  Did I say this morning was soupy?
