AM - 13 on Club run from Brentwood out to Sand Hollow and around. Then I cut off from everyone else and made and extra lap around the lake before meeting my family for some fun in the sun. Pace was very easy and relaxed at first and I was happy because I was still tired. Then the guys started to pick it up and I couldn't go with them, but was still hitting 6:40's for a mile or two. After breaking off, and crossing the dam, I decided I need to try and get 3 miles of Tempo in. With the gravel (same course as Dam to Dam) and my fatigue, I figured 5:55 would be about as strong as possible. First 6:10, second 6:04, third 5:58. Felt okay about it. I'm never happy when one workout (400's) has such a negative affect on others (the rest of the week), but I would still like one more strong week of 400's to really feel strong for the Summer Games. Then I'll transition. (Cumulus orange - 26) Met goals for the week in all ways: mileage, track workout, and long run. I feel good about my running right now and am ready to race something. Goals for next week. I would like to hit another good long run and keep working to the point where I feel confident about my distance running. One more good workout of 400's and keep a positive attitude. I am having fun running now and I like it. |
