Exercise Type: Run

Weather: mild, dark, 50s

Comments:
Now I recall why I don't usually agree to race in April. This week was pathetic from a training point of view. Sick on the first two days. Too many sick and injured to speak with on Wednesday. Meets on Thursday and Saturday. Family and meet entries on Sunday. Finished Woodward entries at 10:30pm Sunday and got out by 11 to do the Belt Rd Loop before going back to work on the Flint Hill entries until 2am. Started easy up to 39th and enjoyed a leisurely pace along to Ft. Reno. Convinced myself by Tenley that I could add on and made it to Norton Pl. Returned at a quickening pace along Wisconsin and 41st. First a 7:08 mile and then a 6:18 (3:24, 2:54 splits). Felt stiff at first, but enjoyed loosening up and the spirited finish.

Three weeks until the Parkway 10 miler. I need some consistency, a long run, and hopefully two days of speed work if I'm going to do this thing right.
