Track night

I ran with Jim only tonight.  Jeff completed his first marathon on Sunday so was out of commission.  Unfortunately Jeff had a tough debut marathon.  All his training indicated he would go sub 3 easy, but that first time out is always a learning experience and he ran a 3:13 not BQing which was his primary goal.  Still, I think that was a great time for a first marathon.

Anyways back to track night.

1 mile warm up

4 x 800 m with 400 m recovery jogs  (2:51, 2:50, 2:51, 2:52)

We were going to do 6 x 800 but Jim started falling off the pace during the 3rd 800 and really struggled on the fourth, so we decided to call it a night.

3 mile cool down (last 2 by myself at a faster than normal cool down pace averaging around 7 minutes.)

Total: 7 miles

Nike Free Miles: 7.00

5 easy hilly miles on a gorgeous (no wind) morning.  This weekend is the hot air balloon festival and a lot of the balloon people are getting a head start.  It is beautiful to see all the balloons over the glassy lake with the sun coming up.

Today was one of those days were I could tell I was running at a decent clip, but it felt really easy. These are the days that make me love running.

TM 1% incline

1 mile warm up 7:30

3 miles mp 6:30

2 miles cool down 7:30

This weeks 3 mp miles felt a million times easier than last weeks 2 mp miles.  I gives me hope that I'll be able to get to my goal by June.

The running club was supposed to meet to run around the island this morning and watch the hot air balloon festival.  I ran 3 miles to the meeting spot and we ran around the island. Unfortunately it was too windy for the balloons today though so we didn't get to see them this morning.  The last two mornings it has been fun to see them though.  The run with the club was 6 miles.  At 9 miles I had averaged 7:29.  We stopped and chatted for 10 to 15 minutes waiting for everyone to finish, then I ran the 3 miles home nice and slow since my legs had tightened up a bit standing around.

Total run 12 miles 1:33:00
