Last night was the first time back at the track since fall...and I'm happy to report that I did pretty well. Despite still being slightly sore from Youngstown, I managed to run 800s in basically the same time I had been running in the fall...not quite as fast (about 5 seconds off), but as a starting place, I was pretty happy with it.
Coach Kurt and Bryce both couldn't come, so I got to lead the workout, which was just kind of funny....
"All right...Number 2...Ready......GO!"
hahahahahahahaha. It's not quite me, somehow...but I did get a kick out of doing it for an evening. Annie, Papa Louie, Michele, and Jeff all showed, and we had a good workout. Afterwards, I went to dinner with Annie, and Albert showed up to join us. It was Annie's birthday, so we enjoyed a nice evening making fun of each other...
I get so tired by 10pm lately. It's kind of lame...I want to be able to stay up and watch a movie with my boyfriend...and I have every intention of doing so. But then I get home and I'm just totally exhausted and it's all I can do to check my email and read a magazine before crashing. Today I don't have an evening activity planned, so hopefully I'll be able to get some 'chill-time' in.
Yesterday I had a rehearsal with Lorenzo (my pianist) for the recital. (It's only a week and a half away--ack!) The rehearsal went pretty well...he's so much fun to play with. I'm lucky he's willing to play with me! It's sometimes hard to find talented, agreeable people in the musician world...

Okay, I'm curious. Why are you doing 800 repeats if you're doing an Ironman in 3 months?
Agreeable....now that's a good quality to look for.
Zeke--still doing the longer stuff too, of course, but one speed workout a week isn't going to hurt anything...and i'm acknowledging the fact that i'll get slower as i increase milage on my runs (now i'm only up to 13m, so it's not that big of a deal...)---
but you have a point. i'll probably ditch the tuesday night track workouts in favor of a mid-distance steady run once the long distance runs get to be more intense...
Don't let em fool you. You ran a great workout yesturday! Thanks for leading us through the 800's.
