UWGB Trail

9.63 Miles 1:05:20 6:47 average
5:30 pm) 50's sunny
Ran 2 loops. I ran the first loop with Mike. Second one I
ran solo. My time for the second loop was 31:34. This is
very good for my first week on this trail since Nov. 1.
Last year the best time I had was 30:31. So only about a
minute off my best time. I think this year I should break
30:00 minutes.

Did 200 meter jogs in between the 1000's.
After the 4th set did 600 meter jog.
The goal today was 3:40 or better. Was below the goal
time on all the sets. I think I need to push a little
harder next week. I'm thinking 3:30 or better.
Tomorrow I'm going to finally do some trail running.
I have not run trails since October. I can't wait.

Had stomach problems so called it day after 5 miles.
I shouldn't have had jelly beans and chocolate before
the run I guess. I did 2 miles at 5% incline to change
it up a bit.

Very windy tonight. I ran into the wind to start.
It was nice when I got to run with the tailwind.
Pushed hard last few miles. My last mile was 6:06
with some crosswind and headwind. I was exhausted
when finished.
Had a nice mexican dinner tonight with my parents
and brother. Then we watched 24. Good times.

upper 30's sunny nice
I was not feeling it today. I felt off. Of course Mike
was feeling good and he was pushing the pace. I would
have run slower if by myself. Glad this run is done.
I should have had pasta last night like I usually do
before my long run. Plus I didn't have my Red Bull this
morning. Maybe that's part of it. Also I'm only a week
out from racing a half marathon. So those are probably
all factors. Next Saturday is 20 I will make sure to at
least have pasta and a Red Bull. That should help.
So after the run I was chilled a little bit and said
to a friend of mine I think I will have my first cup of
coffee ever! He said he's never drank coffee either so
he said I will drink a cup if you do so we both had our
first coffee's. It wasn't bad and it warmed me up. Not
sure if I'm hooked on it but maybe I will drink it from
time to time and not every 38 years.

I was running at 8.5 - 9.0 for the first half hour
then I decided I was bored and needed to change up
the workout so I would go 2:30 at 8.5 then 2:30 at
9.2. This was a nice change. It gave me something
to be thinking about. I would recover for 2 1/2
minutes then push it some for 2 1/2 minutes. At mile
7 I decided to do something else I upped the speed to
10.2 I held this till 7.5 miles and still felt good.
So I upped it to 10.5 the last half mile. This was
getting a lot harder, but not that bad. I was tempted
to go a little faster but decided that was fast enough.

Did 200 meter jogs in between the 1000's.
After the 3rd set did 600 meter jog.
I ran these with a friend of mine. We decided before we
started we would shoot for 3:45 per 1000. Did not want to
go too hard on our first week. Next week we will shoot for
3:40 or better and probably do around 8 repeats. This was
a fun workout. It's always more fun when you have someone
to do it with.
