Track practice

Warmup kind of... 2.25mi run average 7:50/mi.  0.5mi straights and turns, 2x800, 2x600 @ 1:40/400m.  2 lap jog outside lane, 4 soccer field laps barefoot cooldown 

Felt a little dehydrated which made me dizzy on the speed work.  Other than that, pretty good return to speed work.

Loop around campus averaging 9:05/mi.  Started out faster, but needed to slow down since I am just starting to build up my mileage again.  Felt good though.

Smaller campus loop around Lake Alice.  I was planning on running slower, but someone was running behind me for a mile and I picked up my pace without even realizing it.  I averaged around 9min/mi again.

Went to Panama City Beach to watch some friends compete in Ironman Florida and stayed 2.5mi away at a campground. 

Ran from the campground to the start of the swim carrying a 5lb backpack with water and warm cloths for me and my brother.  Ran back on the beach.  Then ran for another 11mi.  Total of 9mi on the beach.  I realized that I really don't like running on the beach, so instead of doing a 50mi beach run I'm going to focus on dropping my Marathon time.  I would like to get 3:30.  I'll probably do a 1/2 marathon too and try to get another PR.  I'll do the longer runs when I get older and can't improve on my time anymore.

Walked 5mi round trip going back to the race to watch my friends finish.
