2nd time writing this entry - the first disappeared! Gr! Why does that happen??? Objective: easy, hard, easy, hard, etc. : form drills, cadence drills, butt kick drills Conditions: 36F, partly cloudy, crescent moon 15 min. strength work after run. In almost exactly the same amount of time as yesterday's run, I covered a full mile more today! (Hence the estimated 1 mile MP.) Those drills really turn up the gas. I go for a block or two concentrating on one or two aspects of form, such as arm swing, hip pivot, cadence, heel lift, etc. Then I switch to another aspect for the next block or two.
It was a fun workout, with all the freedom to push as long as I wanted to, rotating through the drills, and then go easy for a while until I felt restless again. My personality is well suited to that kind of freedom. I hope it doesn't doom me, in terms of my marathon goals. That shiny key to the track is still sitting unused...
