I decided to stop counting how many people say hi because the numbers were too depressing. Today absolutely 0% of the runners acknowledged back. That's too depressing for a run.
However, last night I saw two hardcore runners. They had packs on their backs and were working their asses off. I actually had to catch up to one of the runners and say, "hey man, you dropped your ass back there. You must be working it off."
Here are the stats from yesterday and today. Too lazy to write it again. Thanks copy and paste.
| Tuesday February 10, 2009 Add Workout! | Running - Easy Run Arlington 8:15pm Weather: mid 50s Edit Workout! | 14 miles 01:56:00 (8:17 min/mile) | Shoe: Saucony Omni 6 (V) 349 miles on shoe |
| Beautiful outside. Wonderful night for a run. Legs and breathing felt great. Everything matched. Wonderful fun. | |||
| Wednesday February 11, 2009 Add Workout! | Running - On-Offs Track & Mall 4:15pm Weather: 72 Breezy Edit Workout! | 11 miles 01:26:00 (7:49 min/mile) | Shoe: Saucony Omni 6 (V) 360 miles on shoe |
| The weather was even more beautiful today. Actually got a little warm during the run. The shirt almost came off, but then again, I don't want to get shot. Finished with 80 sit-ups. 3x 5 min on 4 min. off with the mid-distance runners. Hit a 5:39 pace during one of them. Finished off with 7.5 mile easy run. Threw in some more short bursts just to test out the Garmin. It tells the fastest pace that one has ran. Going full-out down hill and got the pace down to 4:39. Felt good to float; however, I could only hold it for 20 seconds or so. The legs were a little tired today after the speed work-out. Otherwise another great run today. Almost time to order new shoes. | |||

Aren't you getting fancy with the colorful charts and so forth!
You've been having some really decent runs lately. 5:39! 4:39?! Awesome! Even if for just 20 seconds or so.
Those hardcores, with the packs and such - probably thought the same about you.
It is good to see that you are getting in some quality runs. It makes me happy for you, and makes a little jealous too. You are a lucky mofo!
5:39 is sweet. It is the sweetness!
