Running 58:47 [2]
Woo! Look at me run! I feel like I haven't run for this long (non-o) since hmm... awhile! Cool stuff. Cold day though- full on tights and long top and gloves and not too warm. Started with Stephi, but she wasn't feeling well and turned around after 20 min. Out Strinham, back Organ Hill.
Legs a bit sore, but not too bad. Want to gear up for a good session Tues at the Cornell track.

Cycling (recovery) 20:00 [1]
Easy cycle to get the legs moving. More out of boredom sitting in the hotel and my roomate going than feeling like its helpful training. Got a good stretch in afterwards though!

Running 33:00 [2]
Joggeroo at home. Nice to be able to run the day after a race and not have anything so sore it needs babying! Woo!
That said, a bit tired. =)

Strength 11:00 [1]
10 min abs, 1 min back stuff.
The shower afterwards made me late for the easter egg hunt with little cousin! But he'd only found 1 by then...

Running 36:00 [1]
Warm up before the race, with lots of stretching interspersed. Cool down with Cathy after the race (who was chattering up a storm- think she was very psyched to beat me!) around the Yale Bowl twice.
Running race (Steeplechase) 11:14 [5]
3k steeplechase: representing Achilles (joint Oxford and Cambridge team) against a joint Yale and Harvard team
Not a bad race considering my lack of good running training this year. Pretty pleased. Did come in last which is a bit of a bummer, but the pace for this 3k is equivalent to a 7:29.3 2k, which is just a bit slower than what I ran for BUSA 2k last year- 7:24.6. Think I'll definitely be able to improve!

Easy run around New Haven. Gorgeous day. Didn't know where to go to avoid cars though. Don't like cars!
Achilles are still a bit worked from Tuesday's intervals, maybe they'll clear up for tomorrow??

Running 31:00 [1]
Morning track session- last one before Friday's steeplechase!
Warm up, warm down, and laps between pieces. Sun came out at the end and was pretty. We're a bit spoiled for good weather at the moment, but not complaining!

Running (Steeplechase) 13:40 [5]
1200, 4.48
1200, 4.35
800, 3.00
400, 85
In the second lane, with 5 hurdles per lap, where the barriers should be. Feeling more comfy over the hurdles, but not sure I'm carrying my momentum through well on my landing. Will have to ask someone about this who actually hurdles.
Not amazing times, but should actually get around the 3k course. Will not be able to start fast though. At the most, I think I can hope for 90 s 400s, but on the 'chase, you can't really judge this unfortunately as the laps are some strange length because of the water jump...
