AM: 16 miles.  First 3 with Anthony, next 10 with Drew, Lee, Quint, Christina, Christa, Anthony... Really appreciated and enjoyed the run today.  I was not feeling in shape to run that much, so all of the faces showing up made it much better to hold on.  Fortunately, I was able to suffer the last 3 miles on my own back to my car.

AM:  5 miles at track in Safety Harbor.  Just ran some laps with the group and timed them for their workout

 

PM: 10+ at track with Sean, Anthony, Drew, Jim, and Lee.  For the workout, Lee, Anthony, Sean and I decided to do the 1000s with 200 recovery.  I wanted to amend it to 2 sets of 3x1000, but they seemed to want a 7x1000, so I figured I'd drop down to a 5x1000 and try and make it with the short recoveries.  

Splits- 3:12, 3:15, 3:16, 3:14, 3:16

I was pretty done by the fifth item, but thankfully Drew joined for the last bit which was re-energizing.  I was surprised to be leading the last couple of items to be honest, so I appreciated the help.  I suppose I had one more in me at a slower rate, but there was no reason to push too much- I'll have another workout in 2 days and my mileage is increasing.

PM: Pretty quick run with Anthony all around East Lake.  It was great to converse with him and also to run with someone more fit than me.  It makes me want to work harder, which is what I need.  Progress is being made finally.  My weight is much lower, my effort is up, and my slow slogs aren't ridiculous anymore.

In other news, Anthony and I talked about him breaking 16 minutes for the first time and I got him to race next Saturday with me!  I don't think I have the fitness at the moment, but I can definitely pace him to an 8:00 half- which we'll see if he wants to take me up on.  That won't take too much out of me to hopefully still finish around 16:30.  If not, just him being there will motivate me to push more, which is awesome.  My "A" goal in that case is a 16:15, but who knows what the Florida humidity/heat will do.

AM: Workout in Safety Harbor.  Wass with the group but did the items by myself.  Workout was- 600, 1000, mile, (4 minutes rest/recovery over 400m), mile, 1000, 600 with 200 recoveries in between all other items.  My goals were merely to get faster as I went, which I accomplished!

Splits- 2:11, 3:39, 5:41, 5:19, 3:27, 1;59

 

PM: 3 miles and gym- chest, shoulders only

AM: JC and then with the group. Felt great!

Rays game today. Finally get to sit at the field level, which is exciting. Too bad I'm a Red Sox fan!
