Doug's Running Thingy

Routine bounce around the figure 8 of overstreet and ravine trails this morning.  Right at 30 seconds faster than 2 weeks ago... 8:10 pace overall, with no real challenge.  Hope to get on the trails early tomorrow as well and do 1 minute on 1 minute off for a couple miles in the middle of the same course. 

Way too hot and humid on the trails for this workout tonight, but I got through it.  A bit over two miles warmup at about 8:45 pace, then 6X2 minutes on and 1 minute off - all of the "ons" were between 5:57 and 6:11 pace, and the "offs" were essentially walking.  Then jogged about 3/4 mile back to the car - whew.

Work has me up in central Indiana for a day and a half checking out a former Nike Missile base - kinda cool. Sneaked in a bit under 5 miles this evening before dinner with the clients.  More detailed site visit tomorrow with the state environmental agency in tow - fun.  Ran out from the hotel toward a huge office complex - turned out to be a couple ginormous buildings of some sort with gorgeous well maintained grounds with nice grass and little hummocks to play on.  Lots of birds and cotton tail bunnylets too - can't beat that.

Still in Indiana - command decision after meeting at hotel to NOT go back out for another site visit - woooo.  Took advantage of the extra time to get in 45 minutes on the hotel treadmill while watching the end of today's tour de france stage.  Pretty much the longest I've ever run on a treadmill... still not impressed.  Sitting at Chicago Midway airport now - back home by midnight.

Back home today and after lazing around all day, I finally dragged out to the trails this evening.  Ran overstreet counterclockwise to the milkyway and keel over trails up to the ravine trail and back to the trailhead.  Probably the fastest I've run this route - will have to look into that - good run.
