AM - 15 - Big Workout #14.  3 mile warm up, 2 mile Tinman, 8x1000's, then 4 cool.  This was a pretty yuck workout.  I wasn't expecting to be as solid as 2 weeks ago, but I didn't think it would get this ugly.  Up before people should be and over to PVHS.  Hit the warm up with Clyde and Logan, then we were on our way.  1-3 were in 3:17 and I felt that was pretty good and I felt pretty solid. 4 slowed to 3:19 so I wanted to bring the last 4 back to 3:17 (not a chance).  From I started to carry the weights from the 1/2 and the times went bad.  5 was 3:22; 6 was rancid at 3:29; 7 I was pretty spent but tried to relax and run with solid form, this helped bring it down a little to 3:26; then 8 was yuck at 3:31.  Cool down was tough as I was physically tired.  But I guess I got it done - although I wanted to get more out of this workout and make it help me get better.  Oh well... just get the legs fresher again and things will pick up.  (Stratus Bee 192.55)

So, I'm getting home on Friday night and wondered what the plan was for a Saturday run... maybe I could join you?

Good job pushing through the workout. Paul had some nice comments on Clyde's blog about doing these big workouts and maintaining the focus, I'm sure you read it. I just find the way Paul explains things very helpful and encouraging.
