AM - 8.75 Big Workout #16 (attempt #2) 6x1000's CV.  Hip hurt again last night and I was very discouraged and didn't want to get up.  So I slept in a little and decided I could try to do these with my boys (as they were doing 8x1000's, but on the grass).  Eventually got up and went and got my warm up in.  Hip had some soreness in it, but it did loosen up as I got into the 2 TM miles - even hit the pace on them, but almost threw up after the first.  Started off on the first and just hung behind Austin and Kimz.  I could tell this wasn't going to work as I would have lost breakfast if I had eaten anything.  So I hung it up again and decided I would just retire to coaching.  Took Molly around after getting back from practice.  (Stratus grey 238.1)

afternoon - 11 Big Workout #16 (attempt #3) 6x1000's CV.  Throughout the day I kept thinking about not completing this workout and how I had got on one of my runners for not sucking it up when it really gets tough and relying only on talent (and man is he talented!) and not hard work (those who know my team can probably guess who I am talking about).  My words kind of haunted me and I decided I need to suck it up.  So I went down into the inferno which is my basement (unfinished with no air, just a fan blowing on me) and jumped on the treadmill.  Ran 2 warm up in the Five Fingers and then took it down to TM pace (5:52) for two.  This was easily the fastest I have ever run in the Fingers, but it felt great and my hip wasn't bugging at all.  Switched into the old Ohanas and started cranking out the 1000's with 2 minutes rest at (2)5:13 pace (3:12'ish), (2)5:10 pace (3:11'ish), and the final 2 at 5:07 pace (3:10'ish).  I felt strong, and although it was tough and I nearly threw up near the end, I finally completed this dang workout!  Cooled down for two back in the Fingers.  (Five Fingers 37)(Old Ohana -5)

Nice job toughing it out to finally get that BW in.

Good job Dave. My treadmill doesn't go faster than 6:00 min pace. Are you or James doing the Provo River Half?

Way to battle and get it done. I skipped those 1000's a couple times last summer. Sounds like murder.
