AM: (10.5, 1:27:28). 32:47 wu, strides + 6 x 3` @10k pace w/1` recovery, 28:29 cd. Ran part on the dirt and part on the bike path. Hoping for somewhere between 7:00-7:05 pace. Was able to get 400m splits a couple times on the way out (1:30, 1:29 - right on target -- ok, it is official, I am an idiot, why did I think that a 1:30 1/4 was 7 min pace? either the markings are off or I was actually running these at 6:00 min pace - which would have been waywayway too fast, no wonder my legs hurt right now) and then once on the way back (1:27 - a little fast - how about waywaywayway too fast? what a dork!). Felt hard, especially since I haven't been working this pace for a while. It felt like I was pretty consistent, but we'll see when I get on the track next week. PM: (4 miles, easy). Packing today, moving tomorrow. Warning: vent ahead ... So, we are moving about 10 mins from downtown -- my goodness you would think we are moving to the Australian outback (one of the most desolate places I have ever been). I was on the phone for 2 hours -- yes two hours -- trying to get internet service. There is no DSL or broadband out at our new house. Apparently it is too far out in the mountains. SO, we have to get satellite internet service ... and in order to get this we have to get a TV satellite installed -- even though they need to install two satellite dishes ???? hmmmm. Anyway ... no gas service either, unless we want to use propane. Closer to the city, yet so much further away ;-). It looks like after tomorrow I will be out-of-touch with you bloggers for a while - though I can still blog from work (if I can find the time - which I hardly even seem to be able to ...). Have a good day, run well, be safe!!
