The truth never lies on the track and this is the first visit by me to do a quasi-track workout in many years. UCD track. When I ran with the Interlopers in Tucson, we'd run 2*week and I eventually got pretty fit. Well I'm not fit now but I've got Interlooper workouts (http://www.u.arizona.edu/~ekatsani/page3/page8/page6/page6.html) thanks to my dear friend Manny. I adapted this workout for today: 3x2000m w/400m recovery + 1x1000m.
Splits (at 1 mile...my f*cking Garmin is crap):
2000m: 6:29 at 1600m
2000m: 6:42 at 1600m
2000m: 6:48 at 1600m
1000m: 4:10
You don't have to be a data analyst to see I got fat on the 2nd and 3rd interval. Oh well.
Goal was to run at sub-3 marathon pace (6:51 mpm) and that goal was met. 26 6:51s seem
impossible to me at this point. Still, happy to get on a track where the truth is spoken.
Oh yeah, I've determined my Garmin miscalculates a mile by about 20 feet....or more. Lovely.
But I'm happy to have done the workout.
Total mileage: 9.5 (7k "hard")
To date:
65.5 (per run average 9.36)
So now I'm gonna have a great night with my girl on which tonight marks our 14 Anniversary. How are we rolling? Steak frite, cocktails, and (at Jackson's request) the Back to the Future trilogy. I honestly had no idea there was a trilogy. Or even a second one. Oh well.
All good.
Out.
