Kind of a mixed day today.I went on a true long and slow run today. The good part was that I was going a fairly ok pace without pushing hard at all. Really trying to take it easy. I still was 45 seconds faster than a couple of weeks ago at the same point (9.82 miles into it). I was really slow for the last 4 miles though.

The bad part was that my stomach was upset today, so it was not the most comfortable run I have ever done.

Doing hill bounding up Wollaston once, then hills twice at 57 and 56 seconds. (improvement with 4 seconds over earlier in the fall).

Doing the CSU intervals. This time it was 8x400m with rest in between:

1st: 85.97 (41.47,44.49) (pace 5:46/mile)
2nd: 83.92 (40.29, 43.63) (pace 5:38/mile)
3rd: 85.30 (41.04, 44.26) (pace 5:43/mile)
4th: 84.60 (40.69, 43.91) (pace 5:40/mile)
5th: 84.17 (pace 5:39/mile)
6th: 86.32 (40.93, 45.39) (pace 5:47/mile)
7th: 84.92 (pace 5:42/mile)
8th: 86.92 (41.79, 45.13) (pace 5:50/mile)

I am fairly happy with the times. Being quite consistent, and it feels like I improved compared with a couple of weeks ago.

There was better attendance today, with sgb, Ian and Brendan attending.

Easy biking at the gym.

With the rest day yesterday due to signing up for CBHM, I was ready to go today and with my mind focused on lifting knees and a good stride. I went out fast and I was on track of setting a route record but I tired for the last half and was not able to quite get there, missing it with 12 seconds. Still a great training session.

Just signed up for Covered Bridges Half Marathon. A great race that I did this past year. There are about 2300 runners and it usually fills up in under a half hour after the registration opens, so I am very happy that I snagged a spot. http://www.cbhm.com/
