Time to get a little more serious

I had a good workout last night, it was fairly short, but hard. In fact, my training schedule has more of this type work in it for the next 4-5 weeks. Up until now, I have primarily been building base mileage, but starting this week should be including much more speedwork and other hard effort drills. I have also decided that I need to be putting in more hours each week (Jessi wasn't necessarily thrilled with that, but was understanding. . . it's only 7 more weeks after all). I am planning to keep my evening workouts about the same as they have been, but add in some second morning workouts as well.

Today I have no pearl of wisdom, but do have an interesting observation from the track last night. Another man came out to do some walking, and instead of parking in the parking lot, he drove his car all the way up onto the sidewalk to the edge of the track. The only reason I can imagine for this method of parking is so he wouldn't have to walk the distance between the parking lot and the track. But he was going walking.

***Anyway, last night I did a 45 minute track workout and ran about 4.5-5 miles (of course I forgot to charge my Garmin and my battery died). I ran a 1 mile warm up, 3X800 hard with 400 easy in between, 1X400 hard, 400 easy, and a 1-1.5 mile cool down. Tonight I am scheduled for a bike ride with a short run afterwards (assuming the rain ever stops).

See ya.
