Tough workout tonight especially with all the woggers clogging up the inside lane. Even after you explain nicely to them the etiquette of the track they still just look at you like your from another planet. Mix that up with the herds of kids darting out in front of you and makes for one heck of a Chicken Run 3 miler!

On to the workout; 4x200 accelerations in 35-37 to get the legs loosened up. Main part of the workout is my 2 mile long interval in 10:14, a 1200m in 3:49, and 2x800m in 2:32 and 2:29. Took a 1 minute rest interval in between reps. I did not feel too hot tonight and the legs didn't feel speedy for some reason either. Could be a little worn out from work and all the snow or gee, maybe I'm starting to get a little crazy with the VO2 work lately. Maybe both.. I just don't seem to be able to do two a days anymore and so I have been trying to make up for the lack of mileage with the sheer intensity of most key workouts. I'm waiting for the wheels to fall off here any day and I actually think I heard the them squeel a little tonight! One more mile easy at 7min pace and then started a 4 mile stretch in my trainers for at 5:28-5:44/mi. Quick cooldown and then dashed home to dinner and bed.

Chicken run 3 miler, got to remember that one, have had many of those on summer parkway runs. V02 Max work? Tough workouts.

Stay cool, B of BS Rools out

I should be more kind as were all trying to achieve a goal, it's just frustrating at times as it takes a fair amount of focus to run hard.
