Training Journal – 2/9/12:

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 6 mile Speedwork run: Warm-up –> 5×800 in 4:19 w/400 jogs –> cooldown.
Comments: In the vein of not cutting corners and sticking to what is on the “plan”, I went for it this morning and did the scheduled speedrun (though I was tempted to simply run a 10K.) I purposely ignored my watch – listening for the interval beeps. Not bad:
- 800 #1: 3:42
- 800 #2: 3:32
- 800 #3: 3:39
- 800 #4: 3:33
- 800 #5: 3:47
OK, I’ll admit: it felt good too! Though I think in the future I will “watch the watch” – there is no way I could keep up with those times past a 1/2 mile…4:19 might be a little more doable for longer distances.

This Morning

In my mind:

In reality:

A rainy day treadmill run. yuck.

But it was training none the less…and a nice dry environment to do an inaugural run in my blues.

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 4 Mile Easy Run @ 11:21
Comments: Treadmilling it is not a favorite, but I did have negative splits this morning and stayed dry. Pace was 9:40 – still fast against plan…

Read this today. Pretty clear guidance on interactions … though often a challenge:

Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.

Chomp! CHOMP!

Training Journal – 2/5/12:

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 11 Mile Long Run @ 11:21
Comments: What a wonderful morning for a run along the rolling East foothills. The pacing challenge continues: I TRIED, but still can’t seem to hit the goal. Today’s average was 9:58. Splits were pyramid rather than positive or negative in shape… giddy-up!
