| Location: Around and about,CA,USA Member Since: Sep 14, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: Kinda consistently running since 07 Short-Term Running Goals: 5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00 Long-Term Running Goals: I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter. The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters. Personal: I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities. Favorite Blogs: |

Been running off and on. Not too much though. Spent some time at home for most of Apr. Did a PT test: 3 miles in 20:53.
Ran with the Rocket around 5 miles.
And that's it for Apr. A whopping 8 miles.
Got some fivefingers while I was at home and I've been running in those since last week. They make everything hurt. Even my eyebrows. The longest run so far in them was 3.6 miles It's not the best environment here for them. Lots of rocks and gravel. Mostly I just wear them when I run to the pool at lunch. It's less than a half mile. Still hurts. The only thing they've been good for so far is starting conversations.
I guess I was under exaggerating about April's mileage. Usually, I do it the right way and go overboard.
I ran a bit more according to my watch, but I don't check it as often as I used to.
For the 8th, I ran harder than I had become comfortable with. 8:46 pace (maybe I shouldn't have taken so much time off). 91 F; 14% hum; 3.5 mph winds; cloudy | |

Absolute suck.
20 x 150m sprint every minute for, well, 20 minutes. Kept the intervals around 30 secs.

Took advantage of the cool weather and pushed it without glancing at the garmin hoping to see good results. Hope is a good thing. Reality, not so much.

Tried pushing it again without looking at the garmin. A bit warmer than last time. And a bit slower.

Just after 6pm, and it was cloudy enough to take the edge off the heat. Perfect time for a 10k. Ran around Camp Slayer, passed the Victory Over America and the Perfume Palaces and Bedrock (Saddam built a village resembling a Flintstone's set for his grandkids, after he killed their parents).
Ran with a group and tried to keep up, but my legs would not carry me as fast as the other guys were running.

So they have us show up at 5am to regisiter, but they didn't register us. We got to listen to a ill-conceived speech about Memorial Day, instead. Sheesh.
This is kinda a PR. There was an alarm during the race and I had to lie in a ditch for a minute. Everyone was supposed to, but not everyone listened. The guy next to me kept yelling for people to take cover, but they ignored him. Eventually everyone got up and started running. Apparently it's more important to get a decent time than be safe.
My moving pace was 6:50, my pace including ducking for cover was 7:11. Not sure if I could have held a 6:50 if it weren't for the break...
2x400m sprints with VFF as part a warmup for Crossfit.
This is Bedrock on Camp Slayer near Baghdad. Saddam built it for his grandkids. I was experimenting with the photo stitching function on my camera. Those Canon camera scientists have dumbed it down enough to make it Mike-proof.
