TUESDAY TRACK WORKOUT

We had quite the crowd this morning. Met Jo, Eric, and Darin at 7:15 at work parking lot. Jogged the 1.5 miles to the track. 72 degrees, pretty humid, no wind.

10 x 200m w/ about 50-60 seconds recovery between each.

Splits: :37, :38, :38, :39, :36, :38, :39, :40, :41, :34

Max HR: 162

AP: 8:53 (includes recovery walk between repeats)

Less than 2 weeks until Steamboat, CO Marathon -- this will be a long training run. Not enough miles logged between Boston (4/20) and now to give it a valiant effort (and it is way to high in elevation anyways :-) Maybe I'll carry my camera along.

I bet you'll still do excellent at the marathon.

great workout Marc! I see some pr's coming your way.

From Kelli on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 15:39:58 from 71.219.85.34

You will do great, but take the camera so we can all experience it and thank you later!

Great job and you will be ready for Steamboat. I wonder if Steamboat is ready for you.:) Cant wait to see some pics from there.

Oh I want a detailed report for this one...if only it were not on Sunday!

From Rhett on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 19:12:17 from 170.215.58.122

Looks like you should go join Tim for Track Nights.

From MarcE on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 23:57:26 from 206.225.68.52

I'd love to hit Track Night with Tim..if only he lived about 1000 miles closer. :-) They're starting All-comers Track Nights here on Thursday nights. I might go out and give it a try after work some weeks. I'm sure it will be fun.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures in Steamboat. You Utahns are probably used to mountain scenery. Should be nice. I'm not real excited about the running 26.2 mile part..I hope I'm still in shape. I NEED to get out and get a 20 miler in sometime this week.

Yep, it's on a Sunday...as I'm a heathen, this is not a problem for me. :0

I hope you do carry your camera. I love it when people post running pics!! :)

From MarcE on Thu, May 28, 2009 at 13:48:08 from 129.188.33.25

For you Teena, I'll find a nice light-weight disposable and take lots of pics.
