Track runs for 2009 (Fall)
I've been doing a track workout every Wednesday morning at the Walton Stadium here in Columbia. After a 6 lap warm-up and stretch, I've been consistently working on doing 1000s. My goal (starting back in September) was to ease into doing 10 X 1000s by Christmas. Well, for the month of December, starting today (Dec. 2nd), I was scheduled to do 10--and I did it. Boy, was I tired. They weren't very fast--my fastest was 3:42 and my slowest (first one) was 4:07. I'd like to consistently be in the 3:30s, and eventually sub-3:00 for all 10. But in total it was a workout of about 12 miles, and a good one. And this morning it was a cool 36 degrees--but I bundled up and ended up feeling quite warm...
Happy Running!

Good Tempo Run today (10-26-09)
Ran on the Katy this afternoon--about lunch time. After a one mile warmup and water stop, I then hit it hard for a good Tempo. I wanted to go out and back for 10 miles, then a one mile cool down.
The weather was overcast, in the mid-40s, slight wind. Here are my splits:

Then had a good mile cool down in 7:22. Total time was 1:21:49 for 12.4 miles.
Oh, by the way, saw "Rocket Girl" for the first time in a long, long time! And yes, she was hammering it! We high-fived as we passed. But other than that, almost had the trail to myself minus a few walkers...
