Doug's Running Thingy

2.25 mile warmup on the Ravine Trail then back to the track for some full out starts - 3 each X 50 meters from lanes 1, 2, 3.  After that I did two 200s at full speed for 1st 50, then cruising the next 100, and about 90% effort the last 50.  Only had the Garmin on, and it only registers to the second?  Both were at "27" - real happy with that level of effort... especially considering the achy tired body from all the overhead painting and back-breaking floor prep. Finished up with four 100 meter barefoot striders and then 2 barefoot laps on the infield.

Nice 4-miler in the neighborhood after work at 7:45 pace.  

Didn't get to running until after work.  Did 2.5 miles in the neighborhood, but didn't quite warm up enough to do any long sprints after that.  Ran 6 good striders of about 100 meters, and then another half mile around the block.  Can't imagine anything I do in next few days will benefit my racing on Sunday.  Only signed up for the 200 since the 400 is only an hour before and I'm not really ready for a strong 400 anyway.  Still hoping to just sneak under 27 seconds, but its not looking like I will have any time at all to check out the track before stepping on it for the race.  Haven't run on an indoor track in... 27 years!  At least the ODome is a full 200 meters/lap.

2.25 mile warmup and then a few 50 meter starts and one 200 starting and ending at the midpoint of the straightaways.  'Bout as ready as possible for racing the 200 on Sunday.
