My workouts-
A big part of this little blog for me is to keep track of workouts. Also, hopefully someday someone will look at this and critique them or tell me to do more. The last 4 days have been ok. SZ was at Cooler, but I was enjoying family time at home, I did manage to slip away for some runs
Sat - ~4.25 miles 26:30ish. FYI slower then the new world record in the 10k, that means I would have been laped 8 times.
Sun - 3/4 miles up and 1/2 mi down, 6 400s (68-69) 3 200s (30-31). Wanted to do 4 + 4, but felt pretty good with the quarters until after 6 and then felt like 400 was too much. Felt good after so I probably could have done more. I was doing 90 second rest and then 2 minutes rest after the 5th quarter (a bigger rest after 4 quarters)
Mon - ez 25 minutes on the river road from school
Tue - 3/4 mi up and down, ladder of 50-60-70-80-90-100 (2 of each, so 2 50s, 2 60s, etc). Start the watch at the first minute and every minute you do the next sprint. The 2nd set was the same thing except 100-90-etc... Felt good again. A month ago I was struggling with these workouts now I am starting to feel good. The 100s were 14.0-14.2. Not that fast.
My other proud achievement is the ipod I got for my birthday. I feel very techie now. I have 6 cds on there right now, REM Life's rich pageant (best rem album), The Tragically Hip phanton power (best album most do not know about), Radiohead hail to the thief, Garbage version 2.0, White Stripes get behind me satan and The Vines highly evolved.
The ipod is great and I tried running with it on Monday. Worked out well and I did not fall while running, so I think my ez runs will be antoher excuse to listen to the ipod!
