Greetings! The headlines were fun, but maybe a good one for us masters would be "Kathryn Martin runs a race without setting a world record." Or maybe "Christian Cushing Murray leaves the track to focus on the marathon."
Good luck to everyone running Carlsbad this morning. I had a blast there last year, in spite of being fat and out of shape. No races for me until my 800m leg on our corporate DMR team at the Penn Relays. Yes, MikeF, after three years of arm-pulling, I finally got a team together. Our average age is 41, but I think we have a shot of a sub 11:15. The token woman on our team is 45 and has been body building but has some running ability. My goals are to get her to sub 70 for the 400m and me to 2:10 for the 800m. The other two guys can take care of themselves ;-)
Decent week here, with 40+ miles on 6 days. I eased back into speedwork with 4 miles of fartlek on Monday and did a solo mile time trial on Weds in 5:02. Legs and back feel the best they have since last summer. I'll still keep my fingers crossed.
