Total Distance

15.00

15 miles during the big workout this morning.

I woke up at 3:15 to go over to Pineview's track to do a big workout with Clyde and Dave. We had to do it early because I had XC practice and I also had meetings all day for work. It was early and yes I was pretty tired. We did a 3 mile warmup into Green Springs and then did 2 mile tempo back to the high school. Dave turned on the lights which made it more enjoyable to run that early. We did 6x1000m with 200m recovery on the track. My splits were: 3:02, 3:02, 3:02, 3:03, 3:04, 3:03. We then did a 5 mile cooldown afterwards. I am happy with the workout and it was nice to have it done for day.

On a side note, we ran upon a skunk on our warmup who lifted its tail and was about to spray us but we went anaerobic for 2 seconds towards the opposite side of the road. I dislike skunks! Luckily it didn't spray us.

3:02? Wow! Nice workout. And congrats on the house.

I almost got sprayed this morning, too. Sounds like we were all lucky.

That is about the stupidest thing I have ever hear of! You guys are dedicated though and it will pay off.

Hey I won't be there at all this week, but I will be at practice next week until Thursday! But I'm still running so I haven't gotten out of shape. :) See ya next week!
