      I'm gonna attempt my 1st speed workout since early November tonight - Hoping for a hamstring that holds out.  I have about 5 minutes to find in the next 20 days to break 3 @ Carmel.  This week M-W-F speed, Next week M-W-F speed and a little de-fatting and I will be "In-Like-Flynn"

       

      Speed is nothing earth shattering - Moderate efforts of one of 4 workouts

      4x2 mile @ 1/2 Marathon

      5x1 mile @ 10 Mile

      20-25 Minutes @ 10 Mile

      or

      5x5 minutes @ 30 minute race pace.

       

      No hero workouts - Just get a little snap back in the legs.

       

      If I can do 5x5 minute @ 6:18 pace and 4x2 miles @ 6:35 pace.  I can pull off the sub 3.

      Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

       

       

         Mandy!!

         

        How goes it?

         


         

        All good Nader! Back running, getting fit, dealing with work and home stuff slowly. Currently sat in an office in Auckland looking at the harbour and wishing I could go for a run.  Back in Wellington this afternoon thankfully!

         

        How are you??

          (so a little side story here -- my grandfather was an early part of US Navy aviation, and in his honor there is a road on this Navy base named for him. Since this road was on the secure side of a strategic Navy airfield, never been able to see it. This Navy airbase was closed a few years ago and is slowly being turned into civilian use. It will be pretty cool getting run around on it....)

          Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

            After a very thorough minute or so of log-stalking this seems very doable. I wish I was doing that race. Go get it.

              Thanks!

               

              I hope it is doable, it's one more digit knocked off the time.

              I'm old. Parts of me were permanently damaged by my close encounter of the Buick-kind.

              It all comes down to which body shows up on race morning -- the one that wants to run or the go-for-a-jog one.

                Doing pretty well and having a great time with this stuff. 

                 

                Glad to see you're back and at it!
