4.00 miles in the morning.

13.00 miles in the evening. 

I did a nice and easy 4 miles this morning. I did not worry at all about pace. I had to put a long sleeve shirt on because it was pretty cold. I haven't worn a long sleeve shirt in a long time.  I knew I had the big workout ahead of me this evening.  I did 6 easy miles to get warmed up and then went over to Ben Lomond High School after all the football games were done.  I did interval work that I did with Paul.  It has seemed to work really well.  I did a half mile warm up around the track and then did 8 x 1000m with 200m recovery jogs in between.  I had to stop for a second or two after the second one because I got a side stitch.  I rubbed it out and it felt alright.  Here are the times as follows: 3:07, 3:08, 3:09, 3:10, 3:09, 3:10, 3:10, 3:09.  I was real happy to keep all of them under 3:10.  It was a nice push.  I had to deal with some punk kids that were standing in my way and trying to take my picture on their cell phone.  I had the shirt off and I'm sure they were wanting to post it on MySpace or YouTube.  I "politely" asked them to get off the track and they were nice enough to do it.  I ran back to the house for a nice cooldown.  I was happy to get this workout in.
