back to the grind today

looks like I'll be able to do track night tomorrow night.  Looking forward to it.  Not sure if it is 1500/3000 night or mile/5K night.  Either way it'll be a good, painful workout.

Did an easy run after lunch

Planning on running over to track night tonight.  It is 1500/3000 night.  Should be some good speed work. 

Just got back from track night.  I had a good time.  It was nice to go and do that again.  I did the 1500 and the 3000.  I was nervous for the 1500m.  And I immediately got boxed in and ran in the 3rd lane for a lap or so.  Not so good but it was my fault for not being more aggressive.  I wanted to hit 80sec laps and actually came in a little fast than that.  It turns out the 80 sec laps were supposed to be for my 3000m.   Anyway, it wasn't a PR but I ran a 4:50.  I think I could have PR'd but that's ok.  Then I had 30 min to turn around and do that 2nd heat of the 3000.  I went out and tried to hit 80 sec laps.  I ended up doing 82's for most of the laps.  I ended up passing a few guys who had gone out too fast and wound up with a 10:15.  That is a PR.  I think I didn't cash it all in on the 1500 so I had stuff left for this one. 

 All in all it was a nice day of running.  It is always inspiring to see people who are more fit and faster. 

I am tired and a little sore.  That is a good thing :)

The kids and I took a half day from work and school and went to the Braves game.  We had a very good time.  As an added bonus we scored 6 runs in the bottom of the ninth, including a grand slam walk off home run, to win it. 

I got in a short run after my wife got home from work. 

5.1 @ some slow pace cause I'm still a little sore from Tuesday,.

My son did the Atlanta Track Club Peachtree Jr. 3K this morning.  He wasn't thinking he wanted to do it but afterwards he was really excited and can't wait to do another one.  I'm a very happy dad to hear that.  :)  The club does a really good job with this to give the kids the feel of the big Peachtree RR 10K that is on July 4th.  They get over 2000 kids for it.  It is pretty crazy.  Next year my daughter will be old enough to do it. 

After we did a celebration breakfast for him we came home and I got out for a long run.  It was a little warm, 82, but luckily it was partly cloudy.  The shade and cloud cover made it a nice run. I'm glad I took yesterday off.  I really needed to rest my legs.  They felt much better today.
