Daniels "T" workout on the track with Casey Snider. Jogged there via the bathroom at Barker Parker in Pleasant View. The plan was 15-20 minutes at "T" pace, 10 minute jog, then 15-20 at "T" pace. First set was 13 laps (3.25 miles), switching off leads with Casey. He had the option to sit out any given lap, then run 1, 2, or 3 with me. Anyhow, so here's how it went: 1st mile 5:20, 2 miles 10:37, 3 miles 15:51, 17:08 for 3.25. Took off on a jog, and decided to do 3.5 for the final set. 1st lap: 82! I thought for sure it was faster than that, but I realize as well I'm just flat-out getting old and it takes a couple laps to warm up. 1600 in 5:19, 10:33 for 2 miles, 16:26 for 5K (didn't get 3 miles), but 18:14 for total, last mile in 5:03, last lap in 70. Yes, I was a little anaerobic on the last lap, but I didn't really care. I could smell the barn and wanted to blow out a little of the cobwebs. Today was a good confidence builder, I can't help but think this pace will feel like cake when Chicago rolls around. AnnMarie's gone to girls camp, Myles is with his grandparents, heck I have the entire house to myself...and the tile that needs grouted, and the doors that need hung/painted, lawn that needs mowed, etc. Yeah, I've got plenty to do. |
