 | Road Run 51:57 [3] 6.02 mi (8:38 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB878 - #7 |
| Wasn't sure if I'd run the day after racing, but legs weren't very sore so I decided to go out. Even though it was cold (32F) and windy the sun was out so it was OK for running.. 66N, Albany Tpke, Pitts, Howes, Shaker Museum, 66S, Hoes, Syring. Much hillier than yesterday's race course. Quads and hamstrings a bit tight but not a problem. |

| Runnin' of the Green (Island) Road Race - 4mi |
| Road Run race 29:03 [5] 4.0 mi (7:16 / mi) vdot: 43.9 | |
| shoes: NB878 - #7 |
| Runnin' of the Green (Island) Road Race. In Green Island, NY of course (just across the Hudson from Troy). Flat course all on roads through residential and industrial areas. Straight section followed by a 90 degree turn, then repeat. Weather was good for running, upper 30's and overcast with maybe a bit of drizzle. We really lucked out since there was heavy rain overnight and then heavy rain started again just as we were leaving.
Target was 29:00, so I hit that pretty well, although under 29 would've been nice. Mile splits: 7:01. 7:13, 7:33, 7:17. Typically, I started a bit too fast. One hill with perhaps 10 - 15 feet of climb in the last mile. Placed 132/383 overall and 21/57 in 50 - 59 men. This is a "grand prix" race for the local road running club, so the field is pretty tough with all the local hot shots showing up (23:27 winning time in 50 - 59). |

Tuesday Mar 4 |
| Treadmill intervals 43:01  5.13 mi (8:23 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB878 - #7 |
| Treadmill intervals. 6 x 2:00 @ 7:03 pace with 1:30 recovery, then 4 x 1:00 @ 6:40 with 1:00 recovery. It seemed a bit warmer than normal, so lots of sweat flowed. |
