Friday, January 14, 2011 - Race Day @ Lewis University!
AM - 2 mile run @ 7:00 mile pace (14:00). Purpose of this run in the morning before a race is just to wake the body up, get the heart rate going and get the metabolism started.
PM - I need new AA batteries for my Flip Camera otherwise I would do this one on video. The mile was the focus today and my first race. I ended up running 4:25 high and second place overall. With the help of Pablo Ramirez (Harper College-running unattached) we moved our way up from last place through the half mile to 2nd and third to finish the race while closing really hard and got really close to the winner of the race. 100m more and we would have had him, but if we had gone out a little harder say 2:12:2:13 instead of 2:15 high we would have gone 1-2 in the race. The 800m was my other race and was primarily used for a workout. I ran 2:06, which was Barry's goal time for me, but I would have liked to run a little faster. Overall, a good race day that I'll take and look forward to running next Saturday at University of Illinois in the 3000m.
Saturday, January 15, 2011 - 14 miles @ 6:20 mile pace (1:28:20). A good run, but felt a little stiff mainly from it being pretty cold outside. I was able to hit the pace for about 10 of these miles as it took a little while to get warm and into a good rhythm coming off the races last night.
