15MAR06
5.4 mile run
42:18 (7:50 avg. pace)
I've got all kinds of excuses for my lackluster performance today. My legs are fried from deads yesterday. I way overdressed. I still haven't quite beat this cold. Killer 20 mph wind. Blah, blah, blah. Just didn't have it in me today, but I had to get out there. Shoot, they're calling for 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow, so I knew it'd be tough to get out then if I waited. Hopefully it will melt by Saturday for my 12 miler.

Hmmm well that could be a good idea getting her to do your body fat for two reasons:
1) She may like puppy fat on a man :p
2) at least she will know you are interested when she comes to do the inside thigh measurement

That's normal variation in daily running. You're not supposed to be able to run every time balls-to-walls! You're supposed to be running really really really slow, and then suddenly run fast on race day. :p
Yeah, and what about the hottie? You just leave us hanging here... |

I didn't catch that, Rob. Oh, wait. Yeah I did.
I wrote that after being awake only 20 minutes or so this morning. |

3 mile tempo run
21:36 (7:12 avg pace)
splits
mile 1....7:20
mile 2....7:12
mile 3....7:04
Sorry to disappoint you guys. I got caught up doing some homework and before I knew it I had only 45 minutes to get in a workout and get down to my daughter's school to pick her up. So instead of heading to the gym I decided to get in a short run. I'll have to see hot gym chick tomorrow.Anyways, this run felt great. I really put something into it. No warmup, just hit it right off the bat. Well Rush is over and I have to get my kiddo. I'll get my cooldown in the car!

No gym chick story? Don't you know we're living vicariously through you, Jim? Have a heart, buddy! :p

Dude, now she's gonna think you don't like her!
Good run time though- I'm sticking with my 1:41 prediction.

Sorry guys. LOL I don't know whats up. Studying and then running rather than flirting with a hottie. Ten years ago we already would have been broken up and I'd be looking for a new gym.
km- t'll just be like I'm playing hard to get. lol

This was just a great day. I wasn't going to go into the gym today, but I wanted to see hot gym chick. Well I wasn't disappointed. She showed me around her new office and the new area where she'll be teaching yoga. We're going out next week.
We didn't get any snow and the weather is supposed to be somewhat mild (mid 30's) tomorrow for my long run. Can't wait. I really carbed up this afternoon by eating a whole box of wheat thins.
On a totally unrelated note, my ex eloped. I am so glad that chapter of my life is now totally closed. |

Thought I would take a peek in here. The workout looks good and damn, I love wheat thins. Do you eat the regular or honey?

Thank for stopping by my humble training log, Mahler. My lifting is a little wayward now as I concentrate on these upcoming races, but hopefully, soon, I'll be able to take you on in a little virtual deadlifting competition, too. I always check out your log , but never say anything. It's very impressive.
BTW, I've never tried the honey version, but did see them. I have to avoid certain foods, or I'll eat the whole thing. Others are butter pecan ice cream and lime flavored tortilla chips. I got sucked into buying the wheat thins because thay were on sale. ugh.. |
