AM: Was expecting to do about 20-22 miles today, with ideally 10 fast miles at around 5:55 pace after a couple miles of warmup.  Got through about 6 and thought I'd heart out the rest at whatever pace- just if anything to make me learn a lesson.  It was an ill-thought out choice and I threw in the towel after 8.  Also unforutunately had to have Drew drive me back to my vehicle at the halfway mark which was forever away.  Although I'm very thankful- it would have been a terrible waddle back...

Splits for the "10 miles"

(3 mile warmup), 5:51, 5:52, 5:53, 5:55, 5:55, 5:59, 6:23, 6:40, xxx, xxx (3 mile cooldown w/ strides)

I just need to work smarter- I wasn't ready for that workout and I need to realize I'm constrained by my fitness I have- not the fitness I think I have- and shouldn't just expect results that I haven't had indicators for.  In the end, I'd rather fail in practice than in the game and thus I'm happy with the 6 miles and it can only help.  Period.

PM: track workout. 1600, 1200, 2x800, 4x400 with 200 between each similar item and 400 rest between each different item. Splits: 1600- 5:19 1200- 3:55 800s- 2:37, 2:35 400s- 1:18, 1:15, 1:15, 1:12 Hot, humid, gross day. Just trying to descend paces from 5:20 downward. Very lucky to have Drew out there today. I was still feeling Sunday's workout too, sadly. Jim, quint, Charles, and Cory were also welcome additions. News on Sean G is that he is back running 10 miles a day and 20 mile long runs... Tyler should be joining us on Tuesday too, although he's a wildcard but he did run college and he just got out... This is shaping up to be a phenomenal training season for the Fall at this rate!

AM: Track workout.  Workout was honest Yasso 800s- did the full 10x800 with active recovery of about 400m to equal the time of each 800.  Warmup of about 3.5 miles.

Splits- 2:42, 2:42, 2:42, 2:40, 2:41, 2:41, 2:40, 2:39, 2:41, 2:33

This is generally a tough workout since it is so long.  I wanted to be right around 2:40-2:42, and I was very pleased with this workout.  Even the last item did not feel too bad and I didn't reach down too deep for it which I'm happy about.  Everyone bailed as there was lightning (but no rain) a couple of miles away, but I was already geared about after being too busy to run yesterday, so I had to run.  The weather was very humid, so I had doubts about completing the workout however.  Definitely feeling better than on Sunday.  I'm thinking it was the ice cream sundae I had last night.  Good fuel...
