| An outing with Fred in Savoy SF, mostly walking. Trashy forest, steep in places, good practice. |
Friday Apr 16 |
| track 44:16 [2] 5.25 mi (8:25 / mi) | |
| |
| Before (a couple miles on the track), in between, and after (a couple miles on easy trails) the intervals. |
| track 8:48 [5] 1.5 mi (5:52 / mi) | |
| max:169 |
| 6 x 400 (87.3, 88.9, 85.8, 88.2, 87.1, 84.5) with a slow 400 in between. Last one was harder effort - I thought we were doing eight, but Phil announced that #6 was his last, so there was no choice. Felt lousy to start, a little better as time went on. Windy and a bit cold. |

| Tax season is over! Hooray.
Managed to do really good training despite working plenty of hours. Mainly just made it a priority - scheduled time to run early each afternoon and worked earlier and later to make up. Also had lots of runs in the terrain (off trails). There was one day when I started trying that and it was such good fun despite the snow and slop that I just kept doing it. Much better training for O'. Also dropped about 7 pounds to get back to where I used to be. |

| Willis Hill in Montague. All but the first few and last few minutes were in the woods, so I was soon soaking wet even though it hadn't rained since last night. Good effort, working on running technique (picking the feet up, maintaining momentum over deadfall, running a straighter line....). |
