Tuesday's Workout
Today was, surprisingly, a pretty good day.
I had to take Waverly to her physical therapy appointment and then to school early for a Student Council meeting (she's thinking about running for President next year as an 8th grader) before getting my day going.
Realizing that I didn't do anything yesterday because of the day's schedule on Monday, I made it to the gym at 3:30 p.m. to put an hour on the treadmill at the Bally's in The Woodlands.
If I had gone into the office (which is in the Galleria towers), I might have gone to the first stage of HARRA's Tour de Bayou cross country series; however, I ended up at Knox Junior High for a track workout. (I had called Bill to double check where it was and I asked him if it was the same place that I did the Yasso 800s that predicted a 4:30-ish marathon before Houston '07. He said that it was. As you can see, I was trying to draw in all of the karma that I could.)
I thought that I could add a little bit more and go a little hard before running a pair of half marathons this weekend. But I just would limit myself from doing too much.
So I set out to do a mile or two as consistent as I possibly could.
Mile 1 -- 2:28.57, 2:30.61, 2:31.89, 2:29.16 - 10:00.23
Mile 2 -- 2:32.23, 2:33.43, 2:31.97, 2:11.79 - 9:49.42
Then I started to add a few more 400s ... and I really don't know where these came from (but there were witnesses):
2:03.44, 1:59.63, 2:00.16
I figured four was a good number to stop on! I haven't done a 1:59 since the first lap of the 2006 LP Run where I had to line up against Luis Armenteros, Sam Rodriguez, Cornelio Garibay and others.
The temperatures for Saturday and Sunday are looking pretty sweet in Abilene, Kansas and St. Louis, Missouri -- both are calling for 61-62/45-47. If I do well this weekend (and I can't tell you what "well" is), I may go to Oklahoma City the last weekend of this month to get state No. 11 in marathons.
It was good to be out at the track with a lot of my friends -- Bill, George Roffe, Greg and Gena Alvarez, John Laskowski, Ron Longtin, Missy Baugh, Donna Ryals, Althea Caldwell, Jeff Paul, Scott (from Bill's TIR team), and others.
