today was mile repeats.... i did 4, at 6, 5:55, 5:50, and the last, a cruiser, at 5:57. mile warmupu, and a true cool down...
i did 5 repeats last year, according to the blog. if i'd known that, i'd have cranked out another. last year, 6:18, :15, :15, :05, :10.
the last was fun. i roped in 3 of the varsity guys who had 'blown up' and were kind of cooked, and we worked on pace lining in the stiff upwind for about 600 yards... that was the 5:57. i think we could have gone (well, i could have gone) 6 seconds faster if the lead runners had pushed a little more... that is, one guy would lead for a few seconds, and drift off. if we had done it better, we could have cut a great deal of time off.
the draft was sweet, and it was a great object lesson in team work...
hopefully, it's a workout we get to repeat.
yesterday, 35 minutes, unicycled, guitar, juggled...
monday, 55 minute run...
sunday, 52 miles of biking (16 on the trail) and rode all three bikes between errands, and a flat tire... also ran and threw a bit, and played 2 points of pickup ultimate (two touches, one flick huck, one hammer/blade to corner).... saw the davinci code. ok movie...
saturday... i don't remember... seems like... oh i rode around and worked at a car wash... and a sweet napoleon dynamite party...
really can't remember before that...
oh yeah... thursday, ran my first race in 3 years... did ok. i'm hangin' steady in the top 10 on the team (if i were on the team)... we'll see what that means. they came in second in state last year... i was... like top 30 out of a say 125 guys... lost to a girl...
but she's sort of a stud. and i had to pay up, w/ a pint of haagendaazs.
wednesday, rode 30 miles, ran 6, w/ some pickups (100/200/400/400/200/100) in the middle (included in distance)...
tuesday... uh, i can't remember...
that's all. i have aeon flux to watch tonight. i assume it sucks. but, it's free from the library. unlike glory road, which was 'OK', which i think i'm about to buy if i don't get it back to blockbuster...

never old, always slow, never fat.
but often, achy, grumpy, wheezy join me for a workout.
aeon flux was largely unwatchable. there were these people, and there were guns.
the repeats were in a park, not on a track.
that is all.
Did you know that the "mile" was the average height of a Roman soldier multiplied by 1000 paces?
I bet you didn't know that.
I knew that...
according to the 'world wide web' it's 1000 paces... and i guess a pace is then described as '2 steps' like left right...
kind of interesting... does that sound right?
for further discussion: WAS there a pope joan? and you decide the truth about the roswell aliens -- are they kept at AREA51, or they have been moved to ANOTHER SITE.
