AM: (9 miles, 1:17:09). 32:43wu+strides/27:12cd. 6 x 200m w/400 recovery. Hit every single one of these at :46 (recovery was between 2:09-2:17). This sort of took me by surprise. Not only was it as hot as ever, but my leg really hurt this morning (I literally limped the first 1/4 mile of my warm-up). Plus the womens soccer team was practicing on the infield (usually it is the men), that was fine, but they left their backpacks all in lanes 1 and part of 2 near the start line!! Pretty self-centered if you ask me ... there were some of these (ones with the tail wind) that I am pretty sure I would have gotten :45 if I didn't have to run out in lane 2. Anyway, it sort of made me mad, but hey, I have enough to worry about than to let it stew all day ;-). PM: (4 miles easy). There was a road runner sitting outside on the ledge outside of our living room window this morning!! He left before I could get the camera, pretty brazen if you ask me, all three of our domestic animals would love to chase him around. Did you know that road runners eat rattlesnakes? it is true. They are studs (and they are supposedly smarter than coyotes ;-)). have a great day bloggers! NEWS: jshad just reported that fellow blogger Kory Wheatley was hit by a car while running this morning, he has suffered serious injuries and is in the hospital. More information will be given on the FastRunningBlog Discussion Board.
