Thymine Thursdailies

25 hills today for me since I had to run independently of the middle school due to academic decathlon practice.
Did you know that it's possible to talk for 55 minutes all about thymine, a base that is one of four in DNA, including it's history and practical uses?

That's a weird topic. Usually we save serious, longer discussions for after the run.

We did 45 minutes.

I made a complete idiot of myself, too. We were sprinting down the first hill (it's paved) so that the guys wouldn't run us over, and the girl in front of me took a sharp right and cut me off. Being me, I turned, my legs went out from under me, and I fell on my face in front of everyone. It was extremely entertaining, but vaguely embarassing at the same time.

I was home sick from school, so no running for me

5 miles today. easy

5K today. Not a very good time but i was happy because we have had two back to back hard days and one easy before. My time was a 17:40 so definitely not great, but acceptable for this race.

Yet another ball-busting workout.
2 mile warm up
strides + drills
1k(60s), 4k (90s) 2k (2 min) 2k (2 min) 1k (2 min) 1k
(rest in parenthesis) this was on a hilly 1k loop with a grotesque hill, all on grass. This was at 10k race pace, although the 4k was at a notch below, but still above threshold.
8x100m hill sprints
More drills
2 mile cool down.

At least the weather co-operated, a brisk 50 degrees, and a bit breezy.

EDIT: Averaged 4:03 for each km.

6x800 repeats. running 15 minutes in the am tomorrow and then our overnighter trip tomorrow.

wow, thats a bitch. (runner dude)
20 min WU
strides
15 minute tempo (slightly faster)
7x1:30 at 3k pace
strengthening, a hell of a lot
15 min CD

6 mile run
went to watch some of a middle school meet
another 1.5 back to school

race, didn't do as well as I wanted.. =[
But it was the most exciting xc meet ever!! haha

and about 6 miles total.. meet again saturday and no practice tomorrow =]

1 Mile warm-up
Paced 400m intervals x 8
w/ 300m jog.
(was only suppose to be 200m but I guess you can't just run accross the football field when football practice is going on...lol)
Then a 1.5 mile cooldown.
