It's easy -- I just imagine that I'm capable of running 200s in 31-32 seconds :)

Very nice week!

nice job, both of you -- sounds like you're getting comfortable in the pool darkwave, and nice 5K runner girl. i had a pretty good week, getting on the trails of some of the state parks, since it's big-game season. thursday, i hit up treman park and was reminded how much i love running there. total mileage for the week was in the low 60s with two runs over 2 hrs, and three days in a row with some effort: wed, 8x 2:15 uphill on the golf course, into the wind, in slush, plus 6x strides; thurs, 2:17 on the treman trails incl 10x 1-min steep-hill bounding; fri, poor attempt at a 4-mile tempo -- i started way too slowly but managed 10K pace by the last mile, so i don't count it as a total loss.

then today, while heading out to help the timing crew at the local all-comers indoor track meet, my husband convinced me to jump into the mile, although i haven't been on a track in a couple of months. my first goal was to not get injured; my second goal was to get a little experience in a track race, since i don't have any and will be racing the hartshorne masters mile (W50-59 elite heat) next month and want to run as well as possible there. i was happy that a woman i had befriended as we yoyoed with each other at xc was there to run the mile, too. i knew she was experienced and she was fine with me shadowing her, which ensured proper pacing. i stayed right with her, learned that i should stay close to the line rather than on her right shoulder, and was happy with finishing right behind her in 5:51, although it would have been nice to be able to nip her at the line.

i'm off to charlotte tomorrow for a conference and look over to the excitement of next weekend's xc race. i won't be running as part of a team, but will be hanging around with the huge crew from rochester (GVH), so will have plenty of company and plenty of people to cheer for. muddy girl, i know you'll be there, and look forward to meeting you. i'll be the noticeably short one with light-brown frizzy hair wearing a finger lakes jersey.

great job on the mile, NLS. It's great to see you having fun with the short stuff!

I am a bit confused -- wouldn't you be AVOIDING the parks due to the hunters?

thanks, darkwave. i'm avoiding my usual trails in the national and state forests, but there's no gun hunting allowed in the state parks, therefore my change of venue. still, i wear blaze orange just in case someone wanders across jurisdictional borders.

Terrific work ladies!!1!

I'm making my BF a sandwhich right now but will update my logs and LR thread in a bit.
