mile repeats - 2.4 mile warmup around Washington, then cemetary miles with 1/2 mile recovery, and then Washinton warmup backward as cooldown.

1-5:28 a bit disappointed as I wanted to really burn up these repeats since I was planning on only doing three. But as I thought about it, I realized it was the fastest first repeat I had done on this course and took into account that I hadn't done them for a few weeks, it was a bit colder in the evening, and my GPS ran it a bit long (I think)

2-5:21 decided I wanted to get the next two with one under :25 and one under :20, so I really pushed hard. Again the GPS ran this mile long, but the time was good.

3-5:12 really tried to make myself keep working throughout each section of the mile, even the tough uphill ending, and it paid off. The time was strong (quickest ever on this course). The GPS also hit about when it should have (maybe a couple seconds early). What I should do is just drive it and then not worry about if the Garmin is long or short (usually, however, it hasn't been that much of a problem)

Overall, happy about the workout. This course is (estimated) at least 10 seconds harder then running a metric on a track. So today's miles showed some good hard work. I need to keep pushing these times down to below 5:10's and then start adding more to be where I want to for mile repeats.

Dave, Way to go on that last repeat. Even if the GPS was off by a couple seconds, it's an excellent time!

I think you have a good game plan for trying to push those repeats below 5:10 and then adding more.

Are you going to be able to run at 4pm today?

Holt,

I just wanted to check with you once more to see if you wanted to run this race in AZ on March 30-31.

Check it out here www.ragnarrelay.com and let me know. I have free rooms so we wouldn't have to pay for that.

Good job Dave.

I started the week off, good then had the warts froze again on my feet, so now I'm back to hobbling around, hopefully I can run by this weekend.

Nice work! By the way, the race that Clyde mentioned has the entry fee comped as well.
