| PM Track workout: 2 mi. WU w/ strides - 14:34, 800m time trial - 2:21 (lungs - ouch) - its been a while since I attempted anything like this and could tell with the sharp burning lung sensation :) - really felt like I was maxed out after the first 400m in 67 - wow! that shouldn't feel that hard, right? Oh well - I think I'll give this another shot after a considerable amount more of track workouts/shorter speed work. 1.25 mi. rec. - 11:26 - needed every bit of it :). Was fairly pleased with the consistency of the 800m repeats after this test: 3x800m w/ 400m rec. (2:50, 2:50, 2:50), 2x200s (35, 32) w/ 200m rec., 1 mi. CD, 2mi. slooow after dinner w/ dog

| DANCES WITH DIRT - 10K - Trail Race 2x1mi. On grass WU - testing out the traction on the old Brooks Ghost 4 in the mud/grass First trail race - What a race to pick! This was extremely hard, but fun. There were several "hill" climbs that were not possible to run up - walking pace had me gasping for air and my hamstrings almost locking up! There was portion on a steep decline where I got going too fast and tumbled head over feet and crashed pretty hard on to some rocks - ouch! After I shook that off, the course turned right around and went around some trees and climbed back up that hill on the other side of the trees. At some point in mile 5, I missed a turn and wound up adding about 0.25 miles to the distance. The last 0.25-0.5 mi. was in the water of a creek - probably knee deep in about 3 spots - this helped to wash the blood off my knees :) Most of the run was through brush and wooded area that was definitely never anything resembling a beaten path. My legs are shredded from all the briars and thorns that I ran through. Other than the risk of injury, and total thrashing that your legs and back take climbing steep inclines, I would definitely recommend doing one of these type races for all us flatlanders out there.
