10/5/09 easy run

today i just ran 5miles easy on the in-field of Bowers stadium. I ended up doing it bear-foot on the grass to strengthen my feet. I ended up running 6:29 pace (32:29). Not a bad little run.

10/4 Fartlek

Today we drove out to the national forest for practice. We has 5X 4min on/3min off. It was a solid workout considering how muddy it was. I was going about 1200m/ 4 min. I hope we get a chance to do this workout again and see if I cannot run further in those 4 min.
This caps a 68 mile week for me.

10/3 12miles moderate

Today I did 12 miles moderate at home in houston in the garden oaks neighborhood. I ran very well, averaging 6:10 per mile. It felt good, I felt strong.

10/2 easy run

Today we had practice at the park, and instead of running in the park, i ran home haha. I took 75 into town and ran a little bit intown to make 9miles. i was running great too, 6:41 pace. the weather was quite pleasant as well.

10/1 Tempo

Today's workout was a 6-8 mile tempo run, 8 if you ran a good 6 and felt good.
I didn't feel good at all. I ran decent though. i went 32:42 for 6 (5:27/mile).
I was hoping for around 32:00-32:15, but i'll get that next time I'm sure.
I went 5:27, 5:26, 5:25, 5:23, 5:30, 5:27...I was hurting really bad the last 2. Every run is not going to feel good though so I have to take it with a grain of salt.

9/30 easy ten

We had practice at the state park this morning and i ran ten miles at like 6:53 pace which is pretty solid for in the park. I ran the ten mile loop backwards.

9/29 VO2 workout #2

Today we had 2X1200 2X1600 and 3X800 between again on the intermural fields with 3 minutes rest between 1200&1600 and 2mintues rest between 800's.

I felt good until I got to the 800's and I was running faster than I did last week so I was pleased.

I split 3:56, 3:53, 5:15, 5:14, 2:33, 2:35, 2:31= 26 minutes of good work

Think I'm kind of starting to get back to the shape i was in last year. Maybe passing out after that race was what I needed haha.
