The last 2 days

I don't have much time to post tonight. I have been really lacking for sleep the past few days and that isn't good for a runner. My running has been ok despite this. Monday Sean set up a new course I had never done before that went up a side road off of Memorial. It was a medium grade slope that I enjoyed. I don't really have metrics for the course but I can say that I ran a total of 9 miles for the day. Also, I was a bit of a moron and didn't pick up the cones after I was done running the course. So Sean had to actually come back for the cones. I blame that on lack of sleep :) I'll have to start keeping track of how many loops I do on the hill courses on Mondays because Sean keeps asking me how many I did and I respond with an idiotic response of "I don't know". It's just so against my nature to count when I run. I'm a bit of a robot on auto pilot when I run. No thinking, just running. This is a good thing and bad thing. It's a good thing because I'm pretty relaxed when I run. It's a bad thing because sometimes I run off course!

Today was supposed to be a recovery run. I ran a total of 9 miles around 7:14 pace. I felt pretty good throughout. I ran under 7 minute pace for about 3 miles.

Tomorrow I'll do another 9 miles with a speed workout sandwiched between. It will 2 x 1 mile with 4 minutes rest at 5 mile goal pace which will be about 5:18 pace.

I'm going to register for the Park to Park 5 miler tonight. This will be a first for me and I am very excited. I expect there to be quite a few good runners.

That's it for now.

Cheers,

Bill
