6x800 1:00 rest

Did a couple runs with merritt and emily on saturday and sunday. Merritt is better which is nice. Also most of the team people(boys) who is was worried about getting sick seem to have gotten better at least mostly. It is 95+% likely that counties will be postponed to thursday which is ok we did a light workout of 150s today. The 800 boys still need to get stronger def. We can work on that the next few weeks and then into march. Fun wos heh.

I did a wo before the snow comes- supposed to be cold this week too after the snow. Good news is that were moving past the halfway point of winter which is exciting obviously. 10 days until february and then it starts to warm up obv yay!

So anyway 6 800s with 1:00 break. It was supposed to be 308 pace. Pretty much every time the first 400 was 89-90 so too fast and then i would just relax a little bit. Effort was certainly acceptable. I have two more weeks of 4800m and then go up to like 5600. Times 3:06.4,3:05.7,3:04.7,3:02.8,3:03.1,3:00.2 recording the tenths here to promote greater accuracy in the future. For next week its 3 1600s with 1:30 break. The good thing about slowly bumping up the distance is that it keeps more of the run at the proper pace u dont get the first fast lap after the rest every time. It was fine overall though i just need to run more than 20 miles per week lol. My weeks so far this year have been 27,14,16. Ugh. 14 should be a good day not a week lol. So not a bad wo considering the main thing is that it wasnt that hard def and my foot was a little sore after standing around w jeff and lisa watching the mcdonogh workout rather than doing ANY cooldown guh. Btw i misspelled ugh there but i like guh as well. switch it up a little as well. Also my ab didnt hurt and doesnt so far well see tom.

So need to get up early and do a morning run before the snow tom. Then tough it out wednesday hopefully and possibly do a workout at the comm center?!?! later like friday. that could be a big mistake though idk- but what the heck i havent learned from many other running mistakes over the first 30 years haha.

Also IF i run at the PG open meet the big question is should i run in the open(yes probably) or the masters(blech). The open is more competitive- hopefully lol- but i could prob run a more even pace in the masters. Therefore i will definitely do the open obv lol. Actually all you have to do is treat it like an actual real race like track 5000 or workout rather than just being an idiot. The only problem is especially when you are in lousy shape its more fun to be an idiot even if it makes it worse in the end obv. Sigh ill prob try to be smart rather than amusing myself(and everyone else). What a long post btw!
