to and from bus, trailhead at Rockwoods Res

greenrock trail, prescribed 2 1/2 hours of prettty good pace - supposed to be 'marathon' pace, then i was trashed. so the question is how will the next 1.5-2 hours play out in the marathon. cool enough at start but 76 deg at finish, 50% humid.

C • Good job! 6

Cooked a birthday pre-celebration dinner for my father's 90th. Who would have thought celery root (!) could taste so rich, so buttery, so meaty.
With olive oil, onions, garlic and boillon, baked for an hour with carrots.

To put it into context: wild salmon in bed of large green onions and butter, rice lentil pilaf with chopped crimini mushrooms and pecans (complete meal for the vegetarians), local greens salad, included romaine, kale and arugula, and garlic sourdough rolls from wf. 3 kinds of organic white wine -pino gris from Willamette Valley was really good.

garden stuff

wilmore. 74 degrees, 51% humidity

local harvest, city greens

blessed w a little extra time and energy today, so i thought i'd do a little more heat conditioning on tired legs. 78 degrees, 45 humidity. wilmore

Wow where did that come from. Went to running heaven. woke up and knew i had to go to the track (no heat training)

3 x 1200 tempo @5:16, 5:17, 5:17 with 1 min. rest (5:20 target)
3 x 800 interval @ 3:12, 3:15, 3:15 with 2 min rest ((3:15 target)
4 x 400 repetition @ 1:29, 1:30, 1:30, 1:32 w/ 3 min rest (1:30 target)

doing the first 800 with only 1 minute rest seemed like it would be harder than it really was, and the 2 min rest after the first 800 was something to look forward to!

So back to tempo purgatory. Much as i prefer this type of workout over the tempo, its likely the tempo thats making it possible.

C • I rather like that... 3

no heat training run, but at least got out in it

garden stuff. sore legs, fatigue, persists.

shakeout jog in case i'm up to 'quality workout' tommorrow. still tired, didn't seem productive to run more.

Was thinking about shaking things up a bit, schedule calls for split tempo workout, but I noticed in the elite section its a tempo, interval, rep workout.
Which appeals to me, to keep speeding up. So I might do that, only reduce the distances to keep the times tailored to this non-elite. Thinking its a way to keep things interesting, and get some of those virtual 400's in.

potential for heat training again - 83 tommorow

legs are sore!
