Road running 35:00 [3] 3.6 mi (9:43 / mi)
shoes: Loco training
Noon loop, was supposed to run w/ Diane, boss came up with some late morning trivia that needed doing for JACHO inspection. Got out 30' late, ran in opposite direction on the route I'd guessed she took & we had a mid-jog chat going in opposite directions. Seemed like energy was there.
Track 25:52 [4] 6.4 km (4:02 / km)
shoes: Loco training
Track workout at CHS track, Granite State RC, first organized track practice I've attended in many yrs. Maybe 20 runners, Rob Knight (60+ Hopkinton runner, sub21 5k... who's now connected to a face), the coach, w/ a prescribed workout -- & pair off so to speak. Ran w/ a fellow Bob, 40ish, runs once a week, bikes more - agreed pace was 7'/mi.
I'm not in the same groove I've been & "disdain 7"
is not the case, currently, for some reason.
Ran some laps @ 6:40 pace before anyone showed up (thought no one would materialize when no one was my sight by 5:10 - they were in pkng lot, a bit out of sight)
400:100"
800: 3:22
Then the assigned workout:
4x100 loosen up
2x400 @5k pace: 97, 99
1600x2@10k pace, 200 rest: 7:15 (thinking 55 v 52.5), 7:07
2x400:98,94
always in motion...
Interesting to be in so much company & a bit distracting, so accustomed to the privacy/seclusion/solo concentration that's mine @ SPS. Worked hard on the 2 miles to my dismay. Pre-Scotland, I'm beginning to think, I was a different person...even though goals are always on the horizon.
New group of people. Some brief conversation re O/rogaine - don't know what they're missing. Bit like Republicans...clueless. Stiffer this eve than I care to admit.
