YAAAAS (2018 Turkey Trot 5k report)
Well, I came in this year with a goal: break 30 minutes in a 5k. Yay! This race keeps getting bigger each year, and once again it was very crowded. But I lined up near the front this time, and … Continue reading
Race prep and event prep
Well, I’m racing tomorrow morning and it is forecast to be COLD– around 26ºF, with some wind. This should be fun… My husband signed up to run too, but he hasn’t done any running in months. There are plenty of … Continue reading
Overwhelmed
Starting off with the workout: my train was a full 45 minutes late this morning, which gave me exactly one hour to change, run 3 miles, shower, change back, and get upstairs to run a meeting. I accomplished this by … Continue reading
Less brutal than expected
After the difficulty I had with the 40 minute tempo run last week, I expected today’s 8x400m 1×1 intervals to give me another headache. That turned out not to be the case at all. I finished it at 9’30" pace … Continue reading
Flex fuel
One day left in the long weekend. I have a lot to do today, but I’m taking some time to think about sacrifice, the physical and emotional wounds left on the soldiers who return and the families of the ones … Continue reading
Ups and downs
I’m going to have to start stashing liquor in my file cabinet drawer, I swear. Ever since last Friday it has just been a cavalcade of crap. Non-stop crap 24/7. I spent a good chunk of my between-meeting time today … Continue reading
Brutal 40 minute tempo
I like the Higdon intermediate 5k training plan, and use that to organize my workouts. It’s a 2 month plan that increases in difficulty. This year, I don’t have 2 months to train before my annual benchmark 5k, I have … Continue reading
turning Halloween candy into speed
First speed work of the condensed training cycle: 5x400m 1×1 intervals. Work intervals ranged from 9’30" to 8’00" (I always make them harder as the workout progresses), and a 0.5mi cooldown at the end, for 3 miles even, 9’58" overall. … Continue reading
