…for my first good post-Comrades run. I did intervals tonight with the Fleet Feet crowd. On tap was 2 x 400, 2 x 800, and 2 x 1200. The temperature at 7 PM, starting time, was 96 degrees. That just isn’t right. Anyway, I ended up doing 2 x 400, 2 [...]

In order to try and get ready for this 5K on Thanksgiving morning, I scheduled myself for speedwork each of the next three Saturdays. If I’m planning to continue lowering the PR by 70 seconds on each 5K I run, I need to get myself sped up again. So my plan is 6 x [...] Just 3 short months ago I ran my first 5k. My time was a plodding 26:13. I felt like this was a decent finish, but it was 1:13 behind my wife, who had not even trained for the race! Fast forward to last weekend at the Billiken 5k. I crushed my prior best time with a [...] I had to carry the Team Flash banner all alone during the Fleet Feet interval session tonight. Our interval plan tonight was 4 x 1200 and that scared Jason off while Kathy decided the interval work just wasn’t the best thing for her ticker. So there I am, surrounded by 75 other runners or so [...] Sorry about the delay of this post, usually I like to get my weekend activity posts out by Monday. Technical issues. The Thursday intervals last week were the shortest of our entire summer. Fleet Feet had us run 200 meters fast, then 200 meters easy for 5000. For you mathmatically challenged, that’s 13 fast 200s and 12 x [...] Normally we only do interval workouts on Thursdays, but this weekend I thought I crank out some intervals. So I headed down to Forest Park and did 3 x 5.7 miles. And just to make it harder, there was no recovery in between. In fact, I skipped the recovery and the warm up and cool down so [...] It’s Thursday and that means Fleet Feet Intervals! Jason, Kathy, and I made it out to the track for our roughly 16 laps around the track. It was a simple understandable workout, 6 x 800 meters. The other workouts, pyramids, step-ups, 4 x 1200, etc. etc. are nice for a change of pace, [...] Its Thursday in the summer, so Fleet Feet was waiting for us at the Lafayette High School track of pain. Our interval workout tonight was the pyramid: 400, 800, 1200, 1200, 800, 400. Team Flash gave a full effort, with Jason, Kathy, and myself showing up to make ourselves hurt. My pacing [...] Tonight I carried the Team Flash banner by myself to the Fleet Feet interval session. Jason has a balky knee and Kathy has posterior tibial tendonitis, or, as I refer to it, a sore ankle. They both decided that discretion was the better part of valor and decided to skip the workout. Which, [...]
Here’s dinner on the kitchen cutting board, hand made by the pater familias of the Team Flash brothers. The cutting board is hand made, not the cat. OK, I’m kidding. I wouldn’t prepare my cat Myri for food unless there just wasn’t anything else to eat. I mean, I’m not Gordon Shumway! [...] |
