aug 26, 2011

AM (of course)
- was warm and windy out there today...felt the back from the bending over work yesterday at gym for sure but slept pretty well - 8:45-3:45 straight, then pee, then up and down till 4:54...got up before watch beeped, good thing, that snot show past few weeks wiped me out for sleep and recovery as well
- noticing as well on runs now that breathing is OK, but 2 awareness's:
1. gotta get me some race shoes for AM runs now; little less work in them than the Free's but nonetheless a new shoe; as well as pick out some spikes for racing and play on the track over time here
2. gotta lay the plan and vary the running a little more for interval based work - split it up into hill work, pace work for 15-20 min, intervals @ 800 m pace - short and balanced, intervals @ 2-3 K pace longer and balanced
- went about 25 min this AM @ 4-6 up and down efforts so will say 25 x 5 = 125 total
- makes total for week - 499 so far, will run early in AM on Sat, not sure if i can on Sunday as Leigh is away, so will see and then add it up for week....

Ran out to Village Center on NTPP this AM, on way back old guy wants to teach me a lesson about running so he swerves into the bike lane, as if to say, "hey, i did not see you", then he opens his door and says "its your life, stay off the road, i'm a runner too"...and I say "what were you doin in the bike lane?"...and he says "it doesn't matter, get off the road"
- i sensed some envy especially with the i'm a runner comment as well as trying to prove a point by hitting me, oh well, he needs a hug
onward
