Jefferson High School - 8 miles, averaged 7:41. Set of pushups before and after.

Did a WHATEVER Fartlek (what the Fartlek?). I guess it's a traditional fartlek where you run random distances and paces as the mood strikes you. Threw in some strides too. 1 x Riley stide at 4:24 pace. According to the very reliableness of the Garmin at distances that short I broke 4:00 peak pace for the first time ever @ 3:52. In any event I felt in control keeping my feet under me.

Might be time to give my training parter Brandon a call. I think if he doesn't run 6:40s out of the gate I can hang on until my fitness improves and weight drops.

Whatever fartlek.. Very creative Jason. It's sure a good way to accidentally run 8 miles. They sure seem to pass the time for me.

I generally do one or two between buildups. Low stakes, fun, figure out where your efforts are. Once or twice a month would be great but I get too concerned with hitting my usual workouts. Right now I'm loosing sleep over getting in my long runs.

At this point I need to break 3:09:11 to qualify for a "less aided" PR :)
