8 miles in the morning.
12.25 miles in the afternoon.
We got plenty of rain and wind last night. Kept the pace easy this morning. Plan on doing repeats on the track this afternoon.
It was rainy, snowy and windy all day today and then it cleared it up a little bit in the afternoon. I started out with a 6.75 warmup run right after track practice and then went over to Ben Lomond's track for repeats. I ended up doing 17 x 400m at 70 seconds or faster with 60 second recovery in between each one. I hit all of them between 65-69 except for one. The wind determined some of the times. A family from our neighborhood was walking at the track. One of the 7-year-old boys wanted to race a 400 with me. We hit 1:47 for the 400. He is a fast little guy. It was funny because with about 100 meters to go he said that I looked like a "machine" running around the track. What a kid! I hope I can have a cool kid like this someday. I ended up doing my cooldown with Katey. She came over and did 3 miles around the track. This was the most 400's I have ever done. It was a great workout but I was pretty tired afterwards. |
