Another great day at the track. Lots of fun!
The last two Mondays there has been this kid at the track working out. I spoke to him and found out he is a 10th grader. He has a guy (probably in his 20's) coaching him. It's so sad to see this young man struggle, he probably weights 300 pounds and is 125 pounds overweight. How have we gotten so out of shape as a society. It's just sad to see people like this. This poor kid was struggling to run at a pace that I could walk.
My recoveries are too long but the speed was good. I was sweating like a pig! Wait, I've heard that pigs don't sweat :-)

Where do I start? I was supposed to run a Tempo Run today and my Long Run on Saturday. I am heading to a Team Roping competition tomorrow and will be competing on Saturday morning so a long run that day is not an option. I got the bright idea to run my Long Run today and then squeeze in my Tempo Run on Friday while I'm on the road to the event.
Maybe this was a bad idea...? or maybe it's just more of the same old thing I've been struggling with all along, I don't really know. The first few miles seemed great, my HR seemed good and my times were where I thought they should be but about mile 12-13 I felt like I was getting really hot. By this time my shoes were full of sweat to the point I was slinging water out of them every stride. Finally at mile 15 I decided this was not worth the effort and I stopped, rested and tried to cool down. Sweat was pouring off of me like I was a soaker hose. From that point on in I ran and walked and tried to cool down. My muscles got tight during this time making the last four miles misrable.
Not a very sucessful run but I got it in the books. I am going to try and go and find some different shoes that don't have as much padding as this holds all the sweat (do you know how much a soaked pair of Saucony Ride 4's and socks weigh?...a lot!). I also need to figure out my fueling better too. I drank 112 oz of fluid before and immediatly after the run and still lost 6 lbs.

On the road and using my Pad so entries are a little harder.
I seemed to recover from the hot/humid 20 miler on wednesday pretty well.
I flipped my long run and my tempo this week because of the travel.

| Gatesville - Out and Back |
| 72Âș - Calm |
Target:
Tempo Run - 2 Warm-Up, 3 Miles @ 6:45 pace, 1 Miles Cool-Down. |
Notes:
This was a good Tempo Run. 1-1/2 mile out is mostly uphill so the return is mostly downhill (about 125' elevation change). |
I ran 3.1 to make the tempo a full 5K. My fastest 5K was only 7 seconds faster than this run. This run was tough but I wouldn't call it a "killer" workout. (I know I can break 20:00 on a 5K :-)
The weather was a little cooler, 72 degrees when I started.
Hope you all have a good weekend. I'm off to the roping tomorrow. |
