9.2 mile run this morning. Powerline/GS loop extended. Actually felt pretty dang good. I just kept it easy but nonetheless I felt good. I'm starting to feel things out after the last three weeks of craziness. I think overall I may not have lost really any fitness. But I have lost a lot of efficiency- so in turn that makes me use more energy- hence slower down the road.

So my goals are to get a good solid week of training in and work on turnover a few time to try and get that floating feeling back. The good news is that shouldn't take too long to fix. I think all in all if I can just get one whole week of running in I'll get a lot more confidence back in my stride.

6 miles at the track this afternoon with Logan. It was hot! We did 2 miles of warm-up and then 8x200 with a 200 recovery.

1. 30 2. 30 3. 30 4. 29(thats 3:42 pace) 5. 31 6. 32 7. 32 8. 33 (I was soo ready for this to be done!) 

An ok speed workout. Hopefully there will be no aftershocks. Cooled down with 3 more miles and then road the bike back home.

9.7 miles on the bike today= 2.4 easy miles of running.

If anything, your little injury spell gave you a longer break after Ogden. Look at it as a positive. Try 8x100m strides during 3 or 4 of your runs this week to get your economy back. Better yet, barefoot strides in grass.

Paul thats a good idea. I may do some 200's this afternoon with Holt and Logan. I also am dieing to get out on the grass and really run in the Five Fingers. So that will be good too.

I like the five fingers(VFFs),no stickers in the feet!

From Logan on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 16:10:05

Should we plan on 4:00 or 4:30?

From Superfly on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 16:38:09

Logan- 4:30 and I'll try to get a hold of Dave.

From Logan on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 16:46:02

See you then.
