AM: 11 miles with some track repeats in the middle. About 5 miles to the track, then I ran 4x600 with a 200m jog between each. Ran 1:52, 1:51, 1:49, and 1:51. I then jogged one lap and finished off the track portion with a 400 (66) before running home. It felt good to get the legs moving again--it's been a while. PM: 10 miles on my standard Coos Bay-North Bend route. I ventured off course a bit around mile 4 and ran around the local community college only to discover one of the nicest tracks I've ever seen. It's no Hayward field, but it might be a close second. What this little town/school is doing with such a nice track is beyond me... Back to the run; I was dragging towards the end. The last two miles were a bit of a death march. I don't think I drank/ate enough today and I paid for it as a result. Not enjoyable. Oh yeah, and for some reason I had Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places" stuck in my head which made the experience all the more miserable. Where did that come from?? |
