Ok, two pretty good runs - - Wednesday was an interval day, today was an 11 mile recovery run. Yesterday was 4 x 1 mile intervals with a 2 mile warm up and cool down. I ran the intervals with at the Polo Ground on the kilometer track. For some reason, there was a unit running around the track backwards, I knew they were running backwards because everyone else was running the other way. it was kind of hard to dodge folks going both ways. Luckily the backwards unit ended before I started the intervals up. First interval was a 6:26, second was 6:16, third 6:23 and the last one was 6:19 or so. Pretty good pace, made me happy. Then I had to go to work. Sigh.
Today was an 11 mile recovery run and I have to say I am not liking Daylight Savings Time. I was going to run on the trails, but it was still dark. Now, normally Green Berets are not scared of the dark, but, the trails around here are kind of iffy if you can't see where your running. I ended up starting on a trail, then quickly switched to roads after a few stumbles. I ended up going in a big circle around training area J. Luckily, there was a unit doing some good machine gun training, sounded like M-240B and the gunner was knocking out some good 6-9 round bursts. Pretty cool, I was able to listen to them most of the way down MacRidge.
Tomorrow is an off day and saturday should be a tame 16 miler. Geoff H. kicked in a donation, I am up to 750 bucks, pretty good stuff, I do appreciate it.
