AM: 8.02k easy, 4:59 ave pace, felt rickety Massage. My left leg is jacked up. Adductor, pre-PF as well. This is what happens when you do serious mileage :/ You know, I added all music owned by Paul and I onto my mp3 player. The only problem is we own more than 8gb of music. So I uploaded all of A-M. Then started deleting lame or inappropriate songs. Like all the primary songs (sorry), the piano-foresty type music, a lot of Godsmack and Neil Diamond every time he comes up. However, there is a cheesy song I have actually quite enjoyed the couple of times it has come up. It is "I'm Ready to Take a Chance Again" by Barry Manilow. I have to say, not only does it remind me of Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in Foul Play, but it also describes my feelings toward running again! And so this song runs through my head a bit right now. . . Confessional over! PM: Met Ali at HKSI. 6.2k warm up. Then 16 x 400m, 200m rest between. Coach had 85 sec as the slowest we could do on the splits on his split sheet but I didn't know that until after the workout. I told Ali I thought 85 was too slow for us, that 83-84 would be more appropriate. She said 85 was what she would go for and I could go faster if I like. Ok. So, we start off a bit fast, and she sits a second behind me for the first couple, but after that we get comfortable with a pattern of me pushing the first 200m, leading by about 1 sec, then she pushes the second half and we finish even. Until the last 4 and I decide that 80 is a mental barrier that should go down. Below are the splits now that I know how to put a table in my blog watch out world! | Lap | Rest | 1 | 80 | 1:39 | 2 | 84 | 1:27 | 3 | 81 | 1:36 | 4 | 82 | 1:32 | 5 | 84 | 1:23 | 6 | 82 | 1:26 | 7 | 82 | 1:35 | 8 | 82 | 1:27 | 9 | 81 | 1:28 | 10 | 81 | 1:29 | 11 | 81 | 1:27 | 12 | 82 | 1:28 | 13 | 79 | 1:30 | 14 | 78 | 1:36 | 15 | 77 | 1:48 | 16 | 75 | |
