AEROBIC BUILDER

I met Ken, Hales, and Jace at the parkway to get in another early Tues morning aerobic builder.  Jace asked what pace we were shooting for and I said 5:45 avg, to which he responded, "Well I know the way back if I don't keep up."

Then during the warmup Ken told a good big foot story and afterward Jace responded with, "What was the pace again? 5:45? I can handle that, I'm not falling behind after that story!" It was pretty funny.

We ended up hitting 8 miles at a 5:43 avg.

10.5 miles easy on the base perimeter.  The weather was perfect this morning, too bad it won't hold up for too much longer.

1,000 METER REPEATS

Once again I got up early to head to base to do 1,000 meter repeats with 60 seconds rest.  I was dreading this workout.  I told Ben yesterday how I was dreading it because I wanted to do the workout faster than last time (3:04 avg), but last time was really solid and to beat it would take a hurculean effort.

The weather turned out great.  It got super foggy halfway through, but that was kind of a nice change of scenary.  Also, on the 5th one I looked up and saw a fox about 10 feet in front of me on the pathway.  It caught me offguard and I almost came to a complete stop before yelling at the fox and scaring the crap out of it; it immediately took off.

Splits: 3:02.8 3:01.6 3:02.1 3:01.5 3:02.5 3:01.4 3:00.8 2:59.9 2:59.1 2:57.1 (3:00.9 Avg or 4:52-ish pace)

I am super happy with this workout and glad it is over.  It definitely wasn't easy.

7.2 miles easy.  Didn't wake up as early as I should have so this was all I had time for before work.

For the run today we met at Ken's house. The plan was to run 140 minutes easy. The group this time was Ken, Jon, Bret F and me. Bret only wanted to go an hour so we headed out South for 30 minutes came back and dropped him off then headed north. It was a good run. We had a lot of variety as far as running surface went. We ran on paved roads, single track trails, gravel pathways, wood chip path, dirt road, some grass, and we even went through a cave/tunnel.

We went no breakfast, no gels, and no water for the run, so by the end we were starving and Ken and Janae were nice enough to prepare us breakfast after at Ken's house. Great run!
