workout
I ran a lot more than usual this week. I have not been able to really find time to go to the gym this week. And I only want to go early once a week due to lack of sleep issues.
Mentally, I am starting to do workouts as though I am going to play frisbee during the fall. And it looks more and more like I will now be a co-ed player. The weekends have seen some great weather and we have been throwing in the backyard. I have not signed any contract, because we need to determine if we can survive a tournament with 2 kids in tow.
Friday - 22 minute run
Saturday - 35 minute run
Sunday - 5 minute warmup/cooldown, 4x800 (2:46, 2:44, 2:44, 2:43)
Monday - 22 minute run
Tuesday - 45 minute spin class
Wed - off, of course Wed's are usually the worst weather these days since those are the days we would go play frisbee. We were not going to go anyway due to a lingering illness, sinusitis?, in the house. League was cancelled anyway.
Thu - 25 minute run
Friday - off, long week of work, feeling like crap, and free beer at the brewery were the reasons
Sat - 31 minute run, very slow, found a new trail along the river. It felt good to get off the road

Timmy, I think you asked about cinder track, here's what runners world UK has to say on the subject... i think i googled cinder track, for anyone who wants to find the original... cause you know, there i was having my usual evening conversations avout tracks, and guns, and skiing, and hamburgers... when cinder track came up...
bottom line, is their pretty good, but they require maintenance, and they can be slow, so they're being phased out
4. Cinders
This gritty composition of fine rock, carbon, ash and slag made up the running tracks of the pre-synthetic era. A few of them are still around, and you can also find cinder paths in some town parks.
Pros: Cinders are much easier on the legs than roads are. If they’re well-maintained, they can provide a good, even surface, and a track has the obvious advantage of being of an exactly-measured distance.
Cons: Cinders certainly don’t provide an all-weather surface! In the heat they become loose and slippery, and in the rain they can turn into a quagmire. Loose cinders can also create slight slippage underfoot.
Conclusion: As all-weather surfaces grow in popularity, cinder tracks are few and far between. If they’re well-kept, though, they’re still one of the most comfortable surfaces to run on.
