AM:  66F, 86%.  Track day - 8 x 400 @ mile pace, 90 sec rest.  I only made it through 5 reps before the XC team (maybe 40-50 kids!) came pouring on to the track.  I ran 74.3, 74.7, 75.7, 75.7, 75.0, then had to stop there.  I can deal with a few, and have in the past, but you gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.  Speaking of which, I'm off to court, probably for several hours, to fight my $35 parking ticket.  Stupid idea...

*****DISMISSED*****

So, parking ticket court was pretty painless.  I walked right into a room and up to a judge and explained my case.  He kind of dismissively said, "no, this park has different hours."  I was ready for that line of argument and pointed out a few spots in the code.  He read through it for about a minute, then kinda sighed and said, "ok, I'll do it this time, but not again."  That was good enough for me.  It could have gone either way, and the ordinance just leaves a lot of holes and room for interpretation.  Unfortunately I should probably still avoid parking there, but I got my small victory today.  This almost merits a race report!

PM:  5 with a mini-workout on the TM.  4 x (.25 @ 10mph, .25 @ 11mph, .25 @ 7mph). On the last time around I did the middle quarter @ 12mph instead of 11.  So I got one of my 3 missed reps back from this morning.

Oh yeah, that's a good one!

Well done, counselor!

There are a handful of lawyers on the blog, but none of them have ever mentioned winning a case. So I think it would be fair to label you as "elite".

From SlowJoe on Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 10:35:21 from 168.215.171.129

I do believe elite is appropriate, yes. suggestion sustained.

WR Marathon pace would now be 69.9 seconds per lap. (I just read this on letsrun). Now that you have been exonerated of your crimes against parking, let's see if we can make that happen, Joe.

Man, I have to get to the track!

From Jason D on Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 15:16:40 from 68.80.27.222

Win! Good 400s too.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 16:25:35 from 168.215.171.129

Tom - 1 lap, no problem. 100+ laps in a row at that pace...might need a 100-man relay.

Jason - thanks. Done with that workout for awhile, but it's been a fun one.

I was waiting for this follow up about the ticket. Nice work.

Way to fight the man!
