Still feeling pretty icky.  Opted for an easier workout than planned to go a bit easier on the bowels.  Paced Mike D. (who was doing hurdles in lane two) to 2 x 1000 in 2:53 and 2:49 then did 8 x 200 in 32 dropping down to 29 with 200 jog.

Easy run in White Clay with PJ and Mike.  A bug stung my eye and tried to burrow into it.  The worse bug experience of my running career by far.

A step in the right direction even though I didn't compete like I wanted to.  Next week I'll be rabbiting Kip Keino in Ithaca and then no more mistakes.

Drove back from NY through Princeton to watch Heps even though I should have been back Saturday night given all the work I've got to do for school.  Taught at night and ended up not running.

Not trying to make up for yesterday, but it was good to get a long run in.  Ran easy in the morning (3) and then did 14 or just under in the afternoon with Mike at White Clay.  Great run.

Just lifting today.  Stayed up late super last night prepping for a presentation then was busy all day long.  Tomorrow I'll double, then Saturday is easy prep for Sunday.

Set pace for the Kip Keino mile on a windy day in Ithaca.  Was ready to run faster but wanted to make sure I was blocking wind for guys behind me.  Did some 200's after.

Ran late at night after an exhausting day.  Ended up getting locked out of the track and opted to work out tomorrow.

AM: 3 miles

PM:

SET 1
31.10 (Ran into lane 4 to avoid big lawn mower on the track)
(46.92)
2:37.32 (Out OK to start but through 400 in 1:04 thanks to mower. Guy moved it by the time I came around again.)
(5:04.82)

SET 2
29.94
(48.00)
1:30.61 (Felt tough.)
(7:35.20 - Rest too long due to porta-potty trip.)

SET 3
29.87 (Are you kidding me?)
(49.43)
57.94 (Asking my legs for a lot here.)
(2:39.19 )

SET 4
28.76 (Again, that's it?)
(1:04.86)
44.26 (Pressed with everything without going absolutely overboard. Had Saturday in the back of my mind.)

Overall impressions: B+ I didn't feel awesome but I felt OK and I battled. Just hard to run quick at the end even if 30 second pace felt smooth. It was sort of a hot day but there wasn't a whole lot of wind--just a few gusts on the backstretch from time to time. I'm excited for Saturday.

Road flats by myself with 200 walk/jog recovery between reps, 400 between sets. Took some extra recovery before starting the 200's since I wanted to make sure I hit my times without blowing up.

2:05 through 800 then picked it up. Felt good closing but a bit tired after moving up from last throughout thanks to slip at start.

Took a bus back from NY to Philly, walked a few miles to my car, drove home, and went to work.  It was good to get a day off.

Fairly quick on my own.  Out Creek Road, passed the Nature Center, passed the sign at the trail split a little ways and back.
