Back to the track!

Workout: 2 mile easy, 2x2mile Tempo, 2 mile easy

Wow, what a beautiful night. Can you believe it’s October and we had a 70 degree sunny night?

Well I made the trip back down to Kalamazoo to run with the J’s again tonight. They are really getting very fast and although I can hang on the longs runs, when they start clipping along at 7’s and sub 7’s it’s too much for me.

Anyway we did our 2 mile warm-up through Western’s Campus which was a lot of fun. I don’t know the campus all that well so it was great to be out and about on campus and get a mini tour! We even stumbled along a bunch of other runners which is always great to see.

Then came the Temp part of the run. I forgot my Garmin so I was sort of at the mercy of the group. I’m not 100% sure but Chuck said we were running sub 7:30’s for two miles. I was pretty sure my lungs were going to explode! Anyway I sort of wussed out a bit on the second 2 miler although I noticed I was keeping up with the J’s. Well not keeping up, but consistently 100 yards back.

Anyway I got the speedwork in. Arg!
