    Hi.

     

    I'm about to jog around in circles at the track. It was either that or run in place on the belt. At this point, I'm not sure there's much of a difference between the two. Zzzzzs

      6 miles in beautiful Farmingdale, NY. Ran on the Bethpage Bikeway, noteworthy for any golfers out there. It's a 65 DP out there, which I am not used to; worked up quite a sweat.

        Good morning!

         

        I did 3 miles bike, 2 miles jog.

        I borrowed a 25+ year-old mountain bike from my brother.  It is too small for me, and somewhat uncomfortable.  But, the 12 mins I spent on it still beat the hell out of the elliptical Smile.

         

        Have a great day!

          good thing - I'm a bit tired.

          Will be starting the 6 hour drive home in a couple hours.

          Will be good to pick up our neurotic GSD ( is that redundant?) from the kennel.

            10 trainer miles, 5 AlterG miles on a beleaguered knee.  Why is it that every time I smash a knee into the wall while climbing (it happens more than you'd think), it's ALWAYS my "bad" one?!

              Morning!  I have Pilates and a run to and from Orange Theory to make up a total of 5 miles.  Hoping it rains or something.  Today we might break a record for June (wouldn't be too bad for August or September), though.

                It's a race day!  Off-road sprint triathlon tonight, which I am really looking forward to.  This is really just a workout and I'm doing it to work on my racing.  It doesn't really matter what the final result is.  And since it's being treated as a workout, Coach had me do a bike workout this morning as well.  One hour, which included 18 x 1:00 hard.  18 miles total at 18.9 mph.  Such a nice ride....daylight and warm air at 5:30 AM and no cars on the roads.

                    I ran 9 which included

                    2 mile warm up
                    6 min, 5 min, 4 min, 3 min, 2 min, 3 x 1 min hard with half moderate - so 6 hard, 3 moderate, 5 hard, 2.5 moderate, etc. Between the last 3 x 1min do equal moderate (1 min on, 1 min off).

                    I was supposed to start the 6 min segment at half marathon current effort and cut down.

                        Calm down B&B - I'm here

                        Three races in three days and three age group awards - 6th in the 10K, and 7th in the 1500 and tonight's 5K.

                         

                        Time was not what I had hoped (22:08) but the pacing was spot on, and I really gave it every thing I had.

                         

                        The 65-69 age group was one of the more competitive, with a total of 29 runners, and a total spread from 1st to 8th of only 2:09.

                        Only the 55-59 had a tighter spread (1:37) but they only had 21 total runners.

                         

                        My splits were 7:07, 7:10, 7:10 and 6:27 pace for the final sprint to the finish.  No one passed me after the half mile mark, and I passed two in my age group in mile 2

                         

                        And if heart rate is any indication of effort, both my average and my max were higher in the 5K than in either of the other two races.  I felt like I gave it all I had.

                         

                        Now for a good nights sleep and a long drive back to Asheville tomorrow.

                         

                        Bluesky out.  Smile

                         

                        Nice job.  With it being your 3rd race I think that is most likely why your time was a little slower than you wanted but your pacing was awesome and congrats on placing in all 3!

                            So what are your thoughts on starting a speed workout at stupid o'clock in the morning?

                              Today was pretty good. Last week I could not get going (at half marathon pace) for the first mile but after that it was ok.

                               

                              Addie said she has the same problem and I should add some strides to my warm up, which I did.

                               

                              My biggest problem with doing a workout in the morning is how I look afterwards.

                                It's like that with EVERY injured body part I have had. Thankfully there's only been a few.
