Practiced getting the kids ready for school.  Then I got out for a quicky before Chrys left for work. 

4.2 @  6:51 ave pace

PM -6 total

2x800 2:35 and 2:38

4x400 1:18, 1:18, 1:18, 1:19

Plus warmups cooldowns and jogs between intervals.  Wanted to do 4 or 5 x800.  I blasted the first 800, 7 sec faster than I wanted.  The 2nd was only a little slower.  By then I was baked and took it down to some 400's.  I was totally wiped out by the end.  Disappointed that I had to bail on my plan, but it just wasn't going to happen.

Thanks man. Now I'm trying to get used to running in the morning.

Ok Tim, just how much do you weigh, even on a bad day i'm sure it's less than me. Keep up the quality training. I sure hope that I can get back some speed like you've got....

Thanks Slick - I'm just heavier than I think I should be.

It sounds like you have plenty of speed in those legs right now. And with your training plans you are going to be cruising along at your half and at SGM. I can't believe how fast fall racing is approaching. I need to commit to a race and training plan very soon.

My kids start school Monday. I can't believe it. Nice fast run this morning.

I have no idea when my kids start school. I guess I better find out.
