Weight change since May 1: -6

2 miles of gentle pickups 11:55, 12:30

 I'm going to try more of these gentle pickups as a way to boost my speed. The 200 yard repeats are just a little too jarring on my frame and  I often get joint (hip, knee and ankle) pain for days afterward.

 These gentile pickups are convenient because I can do them anytime close to my house and not have to go to a track. I hope it works. I think if I can get that 1 mile time well under 11 minutes, then I should be able to reach all of my goals this year.

Wow, look at the weight change! You're going to beat me at that too arent you?

I increase my mile speed on purpose. It is to help train you to not start too fast at races and to finish strong. I think in the most recent runners world they talk about it. And it is something I learned from Chris. Makes sense to me and if I start and a decent pace I loosen up and feel good and the faster miles really aren't that much more difficult.
