FARTLEK WORKOUT ON THE TM 1.5% INCLINE
2 mile warmup
Workout was 40 minute fartlek with 1 min on/1 min off @ 5 min/pace/6 min pace
Ended up getting 7.33 miles during the workout. 4 miles @ 5 min/pace and 3.33 @ 6 min/pace.
Felt pretty good for the most part. The last 10 minutes was getting a little rough. But managed to gut out another solid workout.
2.75 mile cooldown
Many of you know or have raced against Tim Wight in the past.
Tim was involved in a mulitple car accident in Idaho on Sunday night and lost his life.
Tim was one of my running hero's when I started running, he was always giving me advice on how to be a better runner.
I remember my first ever win was because of Tim. It was the winter circuit 5K race in 2008. The whole goal of that race was to keep up with Tim. I ran the first 2 miles with him and he was like, Benny, you are looking strong, try to get up there and go for the win. Ahead was Jon Allen, Chad Derum and Cody Draper at the time we thought of them as the BIG BAD RUNNING BLOG GUYS and wanted to beat them oh so bad! Haha! I said, no way man, you go get them! No, go get them Benny! You never no til you try. So I took off and ended up beating Chad by less than a half second. Tim gave me the biggest hug after and all he said was, See I told you!
I will never forget Tim, I will miss the runs that we had together when he was in town visiting family. I will never forget all the running advice that he gave me. He was so positive and uplifting all the time. I will miss you Tim more than you know. Love ya Mighty Mouse!
