7 a.m. Met some RRB-ers, some Boulder Striders, and Coach D at FAC. It was a nice group of 10-12 runners out on a gorgeous, sunny (slightly windy) 47 degree morning. 22 minute warm up, stretching, uphill strides 6X4 minutes steady controlled hill repeats (2:05 up/1:55 down) Lehigh Street with 1:45 recovery between each. The last 2 minutes down was actually 4.5 minutes down because Coach told us to keep going all the way back down past our stretching spot. My pace was between 5:47-6:11 pace on the ups and 4:56-5:13 pace on the downs. A nice 18 minute cool down with Katie. Quick shower and a massage with Erin afterwards. She focussed on my lower legs and my right ankle which seemed to be tight in the workout. Now I'm home and I just checked my email to see the interview by Peter Gambaccini is already finished and posted. He called me yesterday morning just after I finished cleaning the entire house and had to put Ali in time out for not letting me change her poopy diaper. I told him I would have to call him back after my 2 yo stopped screaming and let me change her diaper. I was a little distracted on the phone with a sulking 2 yo following me around but Peter did a great job cutting out any of my extra meaningless blab and captured the essence of my responses quite well. 3 p.m. Weights and an easy 5 miles at FAC
