4.25 in the morning. I felt pretty good.
4.6 tempo and 4x400 in the evening (had to cut off two 400's due to time restraints)
I decided not to do the timed mile. Instead I did a "30" minute tempo run with DAve Z. I felt heavy and tight... I stayed true to the "half-marathon EFFORT" as prescribed, even though our pace was slower than our 16 miles at marathon effort a couple of weeks ago. then we came back and 4x400 with jog 100 rest, in the dark. they were in the mid/low 80's... which felt FAST... I think the 24 miler is still in the legs a bit. I'm not worried. I'm looking at the moon, not the fingers... long story....
So Dave asked "Is Will wearing Leiterhausen?" (sp?) and no he wasn't... he was wearing overalls/shorts.. but the sturdy build, blonde hair, and short sleeve oxford, knee high athletic socks, did leave him looking quite "German". This made me think, It's like I gave birth to two different European "ethnicities" I have a stout scandavian, and sleek spaniard. Given the melting pot of genetics it makes sense, but you'd think they'd coalesce into interesting mixes instead of remaining compartmentalized? I love Genetics! |
