Slept in this AM. The weather is so beautifully primed for sleeping. Cool evenings. Mmmm.
I nominated (and he won) Keith Wood for “WOTW” on the Marathon Talk podcast.
World Masters Mountain Running Champs … someday I may go do this.
Afternoon – 7 miles with 3 steady in the middle. Good pace, lungs/breathing were fine (hardly breathing hard), my legs are just wondering why the hell I am interested in sub six pace.
Evening – 5 miles around the soccer fields for JZ’s practice.
If you do the international masters mountain running thing, you shouldn't have much problems being a top U.S. master. I glanced quickly at the results. Only a couple Yanks ran the race!
ReplyDeleteDo the other parents think you're barmy, watching you go around and around the soccer field?
ReplyDeleteJim - yeah, it is pretty light on the US folks although there looks to be CoS contingent in there. Simon has done this race in the past (and won it).
ReplyDeleteCC - oh, no doubt. It is probably worse since I am in the Euro split shorts, no shirt, a heart rate monitor strap on ... I get looks. The worst might have been the looks I got when I went around my block a bunch of times to get 13 miles ... it is only a 1/3 of a mile per go around.
