AM: 18ish, 2:17:00, one loop around Roosevelt, GT trails to Rock Creek Prkwy.  Took it really easy (not that I had a choice, my legs were dead).

NOON: Clopper 10 1:09:36.  I was feeling ok, so I decided to try to get some quality in on this run.  I did a very unstructured fartlek-type thing where I pushed hard on all the uphills in the run.  There are two long hills getting to the trail, then many short rollers once on the trail.

PM: Harvest moon!  One of the few endearing things about the east...  NIST 6 44:52

+ light weights

PM: 10 mile swim down Wisconsin Ave., 1:13:27. Somehow this run is never boring. Maybe that's because it's like playing Frogger.

I love it... the two weeks out of the year that I get to be on top of the mileage board!  Hope everyone is enjoying their taper.

NOON: Clopper 10 1:18:37.  This was a two-snake day on the trail.  Usually, one jolt of adrenaline is enough.  The first one was a black snake, which don't bother me, but the second was fatter and lighter colored.  Didn't get a good look at its head, so not sure what it was, but we have Cottonmouths and Copperheads around here... these I can do without.  They all got smoked out of their holes from the rain last night.

Oh, and another t-shirt bites the dust... my Zeppy's 5k shirt from Ithaca.  It was breezy today, so I can see it getting blown out of the tree, but not too far... someone definitely absconded with it, and within a "secure" government campus no less.  T-shirts aren't safe anywhere I guess.  The fun part was making my way all the way back to the gym (basement hallway of the office building -- with plenty of traffic) with no shirt on.

11 AM: Whitman H.S. track. 2 mile warm up, 2.5 drills (9 sets + 400 jog), 2 mi cool down.

10 x 400m with 400 + 1 min rest (full recovery, approx 4 min rest)

66.4, 65.3, 65.8, 66.5, 67.3,

67.8, 67.0, 67.0, 67.4, 66.0.

Breezy day with a headwind on the back straight.  Still in search of that extra gear.  Having a tailwind (i.e., practically no resistance) on the finally 100 is an interesting situation because you can tell that you are limited purely by mechanics.
