AM: Jefferson High School - 8 miles, averaged 8:19

PM: North Side - 5.1 miles, averaged 7:59. Did some strides. Got into the 4:15-4:25 range. Need to get some 200s on the track to get some accurate measurements. My Timex arrives tomorrow! We will see how long it takes me to shed my Garmin for a race.

Vinton Woods - 9.25 miles, averaged 8:29 with a few water stops and head soaks.

It was pretty warm. 89 with humidity around 63%. Not the most enjoyable run, but it was probably a good fat burner. I guess I've been pretty lucky because in recent years this weather is typical. Going to get some cooler nights later in the week, so I should get to the track on Thursday and a longer run on Saturday.

AM: North Side - 6.5 miles, averaged 8:55. Can't remember the last time I ran that pace. Just loafed along, sweaty and cursing.

PM: Impromptu baby aerobic builder. After 1.25 my watch messed up, so I reset it and warmed up another mile to avoid restarting the watch. So 2.25 warm up, 4.25 in 28:56 (6:46 average). 3 mile cool down. Sweaty. 9.5 miles for the afternoon.

Track workout. My first non-Garmin workout! Got myself a little Timex. Very exciting I know, as you can tell from the number of significant digits below. 6 x 800m with 400 meter jogs (2:00-2:30, about 2:19 average for the recoveries). 3 mile warmup, with 1 x 400 @ about 6:00 minute pace to make sure I didn't smoke the first repeat, then into the workout.

2:52.7, 2:55.63, 2:56.77 (ran into lane 3 and 4 around some footballers), 2:51.18, 2:52.99, 2:49.40 (2:53.11 average).

Walked and got some water. Then started a fast 400, but I bailed at 200. I think. It was 35 seconds, but I'm track illiterate :-)

I was kind of tired going into it, but I'm satisfied with the workout. It was warm, but dry so it was actually kind of perfect.

3 mile cool down.

Lunch: Hedgewood/Columbian Park - 6.25 miles, averaged 8:13

PM: North Side - 5 miles, averaged 8:02. Did a few hard pickups. One Riley stride (.10) @ a Jason pace of 4:27. I love running fast because it freaks people of the neighborhood out. I'm already weird because I exercise.
