AM - 10 miles... FJRAIJTAZ run. Yes, Fritz joined the usual Wednesday crew this morning. I'm not sure if that's the acronym we'll stick with, but it works for today. He claims his "real" name actually starts with a J. We had a nice run - it was warm out this morning. This winter has been too easy. I can only think of like one or two days that were even cold. Andrea's feet are getting a lot better, so that makes me really happy... and James' body doesn't seem to be falling apart - so hopefully soon everyone will be at 100% on the health-meter! PM - 9 miles. Warmed up 2.5 miles w/ ACorn at the track. Workout was 5 x 1000m w/ 200m recovery jog - 3:04, 3:05, 3:03, 3:01, 2:57. Rob Murphy jumped in the last 600m of the last rep with me. I broke him in the last 100 meters :-) The three of us ran a couple laps around the park to cool down, dodging the cyclists. Really happy with how easy this felt. I was originally planning to take 400m b/w reps, but after the first one it was clear I didn't really need it, so I jumped right into the second rep after 200m and kept the recovery shorter throughout. I haven't done many of these kinds of threshold intervals in a while. Now a couple easy days before the 15K on Saturday. Every once in a while Sports Illustrated (well, Tim Layden) has a great piece on distance running. This article on Galen Rupp and Mo Farah is a must-read. I love the 200m repeats in 25 seconds in Park City... jeez... that'll get your lungs burning! And it says they'll be back in PC this summer, so we'll definitely be over there every weekend stalking those guys as they buildup towards the Olympics :-)
