AM-Olympic Oval today for a quality long run. Did the best I could to run it considering the crowd and the press on the track. The Olympic ice track time trials were being conducted on the ice this morning so this made for an interesting run. I loved running hard at the sound of the recorded gun and the announcer at the sideline. It helped make the run kinda fun.. And it gave the St George Running Center and Fast Running Blog some good exposure as I wore my jersey today instead of the usual longsleeved fare. The workout consisted of 4x3 miles alternating threshold with marathon pace effort and 1 mile easy in between sets. Ran a little extra in between to make sure I was on pace still. Tough to call the pace however except fot the back stretch 200m markers where I hit consistent splits of 5:12-5:26 and where I also did not have to move out of my lane very often. A quick cooldown and I was out of there!
PM-4 mile jog on the mill while my son was crashing my new helicopter I got for Christmas into the roof and walls. Naturally, my heart rate went through the roof and wall also.. |
