AM - 10.3 miles up to work, really easy. PM - 8 miles. Ran down to the track and cruised into 12 x 200m in just under 35 seconds average, just boppin' along. Someday that is going to be 5K pace - hopefully this year! Andrea was there running around so I drove home with her instead of running home. We watched a fantastic documentary yesterday called Man On A Mission. Its about Brother Colm O'Connell and St. Patrick's High School in Kenya. Eamonn Coghlan travels there to learn about the program. As you may or may not know, the school is a factory for producing world champion athletes. I found it very interesting - the culture is so much different than ours. At one point Eamonn asks a young runner how often he trains - the runner is almost embarrassed to admit that at that point, he is only training twice a day. And watch how slow they do their easy runs, too :-) The whole thing is 55 minutes, and totally worth watching from start to finish.
