MEMORIAL DAY 2009

Hung 'Ole Glory in the morning.

Slept in our friends' borrowed travel trailer with the boys last night (not quite the same as tent camping. The boys loved playing Uno before bed, then converting the table and sofa into beds. We might actually try going to a campground next time we borrow the trailer. (with a little more pre-planning and perhaps a RESERVATION. :)

Got to the trail at 7AM. 64 degrees, foggy, no wind. Felt nice and cool. Very sluggish to start out. Probably due to the 2 days off - doing manual labor (and eating too much)

Took the boys for a bike ride to the lake, swam for a little while, then walked around a local botanical garden. It was about 90 degrees later in the afternoon. I'm going to sleep well tonight!

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.

Thursday hill workout. Nice weather. Felt like staying in bed, but met Darin and Eric for the 7:15 workout (I know 7:15 isn't too early for most of you). Was glad when it was over.

Ran a 2-fer. Ran 7.5 w/ Eric at lunch. AP: 7:50

Ran another 6 after work alone.

Heading to CO next weekend to run a nice, easy 26.2 miles down a mountain in Steamboat. Not sure what to expect from myself. I've been taking it easy with the running lately, and been swamped at work. It will just be a long run with benefits (finisher's medal, event shirt, and breathtaking scenery)
