On nice days like this (ok it was a bit humid but 91 and semi sunny side up) you find yourself leaving work a little early, to sneak off and do a workout on the track right? Come on, I cant be the only one. If you dont have the ability to modivate yourself, how are you going to be able to run the best race of your life on race day? No one is going to run it for you and the training can only prepare you so far. If you havent been reading the other posts, ill say it again... this stuff is almost 80% mental. The human body can do some amazing things, even with out training.
At work today one of the drillers threw something in the truck while my head was down writing something in my field notebook, and the noise made me jump and almost start running. Ha like some dam horse or something. It was interesting. Just as a note though (something that you wouldnt know unless you were there for it), the starting for a triathlon is done by air horn, one quick burst. If you hear more then that, or a longer one, look up!! They may be trying to restart you.
Great run/stadium climb:
Warm up:
A-step
calf hops
high knees
fast leg

Backward A-step

Backward walk overs

40x10-400 x2= 800 then straight off the bleachers and on to the track for a stride out 300m 6min, R1min, 5:39
Then R1min and did a 1200 in 5:18
My left hamstring is in a knot right now, so I kind of took it easy running a 7:40 mile pace and I stretched like crazy. Hoping my travel day tomorrow (aka day of rest) will put me in good shape for a tough hike/swim workout on Sat.
Still looking for a road bike. Getting new running shoes this weekend.
