The track we run at on Sunday was closed so we did a workout on a nearby hill instead. It's a 100m hill, so we did a 1 minute jog(and a little walking) down the hill as the recovery. It was a pretty moderate hill I think. Based on some very rough Google Pedometer work, it's a climb of about 30 ft in 100m. I'll leave it to Luke to tell me how good or a bad of a hill that is. I tried to gradually ratchet the times down and did so for the most part. Before and after the workout we did about a 1.5 mile run so I actually got some decent mileage in today. I decided I'm going to buy the Garmin Forerunner 610. It seems like its one of the best watches out there and I hated my old so much. Times below:

Mile loops of 7:25 and 7:24. Was going to run a bit later to allow my legs a little extra recovery after the past couple days, but I decided to go early after getting some good news that left me with some excited energy. I'm not ready to share said news with everyone yet, but Steve, it doesn't have to do with running, and Alison, it doesn't have to do with a girl.

1.4-mile loop of Pre's Trail in 10:15.
Yesterday Zack and I, along with Zack's friends from the South and this girl Zack's been hanging out with lately, drove out to the Waldo Lake area for a hike. The hike was ~3½ miles each way, pretty much all uphill on the way out and then just the same way back. Since Zack's friends are runners we broke out into a run pretty often. About a half mile in we started seeing snow, and a mile later we were going across huge drifts of the stuff. Got some great views at the top and had a beer before heading down. We were all hiking/running on the way down, and sliding down the snow. Below the snow there were tons of mosquitoes, so I grabbed the keys and ran the rest of the way when I thought we were somewhat close. I thought it was going to be like a half-mile, but it ended up being at least two. It was pretty fun, but really tiring. After everyone else got back we drove to Waldo Lake and quickly jumped in before heading back to Eugene.
So today's run I was pretty tired from the hike, plus we'd had breakfast an hour before and I had a lot, plus it was super-sunny and hotter than I'm used to. So I was out of breath a lot and really struggling to keep up with Zack and his friend. But I think this weekend of running will be good for me to get back into shape.

So I was supposed to run in an 4x800 at a USATF sanctioned event. It was about 100 degrees in Pasadena where the event was taking place. When I showed up at the race, the open 800m was about to start. One of the guys that I was running the relay with was running late so the other guys said I should run as him. So as the 800m was starting for the women I did one warmup lap and a few quick drills and got my (his) number. I didn't want to injure myself so I figured I'd just cruise it. There was probably about 15 people running it.
The gun went off and I slid into the back of the pack. It was an diverse (by age) field so there was some obvious fast and slow people. Through 200 I was in last place behind an older guy. I accelerated a bit going around the curve and passed the old guy on the straightaway. From a distance I saw the clock was 1:1x so I knew it was really slow. Hit 400m in 1:23 so I decided I at least wanted to run a solid second lap. I picked it up some and started closing the gap on a few runners in front of me. Without hitting my top gear though, I wasn't able to really catch anyone. Once I hit 600, I slowly ratcheted up the effort to a comfortably hard pace and nearly caught two other guys as we finished. Second lap in 1:17, so total time of 2:40. Not bad for a warmup and being 100 degrees.
So about 20 minutes later we realize there were no other entrants for the 4x800m. We've already signed up so it's going to be a race against ourselves. The other guys say we should run 4x400m because it's so hot and it turns out there also are no other entrants in the 4x400m. So I want to run the 4x800 and no one else does, therefore I'm overruled. Well, we decide the order and I'm running second. Our leadoff man, who is the fastest, clocks a 57. I get the baton and I take off, almost as fast as I can for the first 100m. That's generally the best way to run a 400m. I'm not looking at my watch at all. You can't during a 400m. I sail into the straightaway and coast a bit, waiting to throw my max effort for the curve. I get to the curve feeling pretty good and accelerate with the burst I have left. When I get to the straightaway I see the clock from a distance and it says 1:4x, so I know I'm in range of 60 second 400. I hand off the stick and the clock is a few ticks under 2:00. I had wanted to run a sub 60 but I didn't quite there, instead running a 61. I figure it's pretty good considering the heat and running solo. Our other legs finish solidly and we hit a time of 4:10.

With Zack's friends, drove up to a half-mile from the South end of Rexius and parked. Took Rexius to Fox Hollow, went up in 8:57, did the 1.6-mile loop at the top, and headed back down. Did the stream-crossing detour and finished up on Rexius. Two of us just drove home from there and the other guy ran the rest of the way home. Felt pretty good.

I have a dentist appointment this afternoon (sixth week in a row with either a doctor or dentist appointment!) so I put shorts and a running shirt in my car before I left for work...unfortunately I didn't bring running shoes. So instead of driving from work to the West end of Ridgeline and running East, I drove home, put running stuff on, and drove up to the Fox Hollow parking lot and ran 2 miles West (the turnaround point was the same). Felt pretty good, although still slow. Might be able to start doing the odd 6-8 miler soon instead of this 3-5 mile crap.

400s are pretty tough, especially with limited recovery. I was dying on the 3rd one so I took some extra recovery. The last one he ran in 61 and I didn't have my watch but I counted from when he finished and it was about 9-10 seconds. I want to say it was under 70 because I think I counted too fast (you know cuz I was also running fast!).
I'm gonna run in a 4x800 relay this weekend so that should be interesting. Probably go out in a 65 and then come back home hopefully in 70 or faster.

Was in vegas for a 3 day music festival (which was awesome). It was 100 degrees during the day and I wanted to do at least one run so I ran in the gym in the hotel. I was particularly dehydrated from staying up til 8 am the previous night but I got the run in. I wanted to do 4 miles but I felt like I was going to get heat stroke near the end so I cut it a bit short.

Same trail loop as the last two Saturdays. First three miles felt horrible, like someone had just beaten me up. Heading down the fun trail I started to feel better, and up the last hill (a very long, difficult climb) I was able to push it and go relatively fast.

Driving to Vegas late tonight so I had to squeeze in a track workout before my softball game at 730. Pretty insane schedule I was on since this prevented me from being able to watch the NBA finals. I ended up doing a mixture of mid distance sprints.
4:17 wup
500m in 1:40 (avg about 20 sec per 100m)
3:13 rec
600m in 2:01 (avg about 20 sec per 100m)
3:05 rec
400m in 1:12 (avg about 18 sec per 100m)
3:03 rec
400m in 81 (44,37) - intended negative split.
This was just a workout to get some decent work in at longer intervals at a decent pace. Not sure it tells me much but whatever I got in a workout.

Mile loops of 8:12 and 8:18. Waited until after NBA Finals Game 6 to leave, and it went to overtime, so it was pretty late when I finally ran. Did one pull-up halfway through the first loop, but it gave me a little pain in my surgery area so I didn't do any more. Will have to wait a few more weeks before I start those up again...pushups are even worse, so I'm just gonna have a weak core for a few months.

After a lengthy, health-related hiatus, I am back! Does anyone else here have the joy of asthma? Yesterday's quick, indoor jaunt was quite enjoyable. We're about to move, so no more gym for free. The place around the corner from ours offers affordable options. Maybe I will pansy my way inside and join up.
Much to the sentiment of James' most recent post, Houston heat--like Florida's--is a joke this time of year.
I purchased a Keep-Cool towel, which sounds like a load of bullshit, but for a mere $5.99, my disposable income grew wings and flew to Groupon like Jay and Seth Rogen flying to the afterlife (don't go see that film).

+ English Luke and Kat!
Hi all,
Sorry I've been silent for so many months. It's been a very busy time for me, with family visiting, getting buried by my continuing degree, and now friends visiting. My excellent friends Luke G and Kat have come to see us for 2 weeks (Luke V and Luke G have met, on a running and drinking basis). And goddamn it we got a run in in June in Florida. And it was FUCKED!
It went very well and all, but excitement isn't quite the word. We decided to run on the trail towards my college, so they could see what my usual commute is like. It's gone 7:30pm, but still hot. We are stretching and can see a line of orange somewhere in the distance, and I comment that I hope it's not some kind of construction blocking our way. We also muse that it might be a line of runners, though they don't appear to be moving. I suggest running the other direction, but Luke rightly points out that if they catch and pass us, that is going to be embarrassing. So we begin.
As we get closer, a few of the apparently orange people go past us and we see that there are about 100 more waiting to follow them (the path is not wide and surrounded by ravines on either side). "Shit! I know a diversion, we just have to backtrack a little to get to it." For some reason this does not appeal to my tough English associates, and we go along the edge of the trail, trying to eak out a single file somewhere between the dirty bumps, trying to avoid becoming badly injured fruitfly joggers in a healthcare shit sandwich. The first wave of 50 passes and we realise these might be military types, out chanting and running and being relatively fucking American. As the next lot head towards us, the terrain to get by them is even more perilous, so I shout for us to make a hard turn and run down the side of some homes towards a parallel street. We cut around and back up to the trail.
After we hit our stopping point and turn around, they look like they've done the same thing! These bastards seem determined to stomp us, if not under their boots, then under a climate of fear and with flagrant disregard for the rule of leaving most of the trail clear for cyclists. So going back we spend even more time on the parallel streets, sweating and staggering and frothing with confusion about what the hell's going on. We did not run this distance without stopping for a few walking moments, but we all felt it was a job well done.
One final story. When I told Luke to turn left and cross a street that cuts the trail, it was not a safe time to do so, car-wise. Luke V may remember I did this exact same thing to him when he was in England (and we were very close to Luke G's house, as it happens). Maybe I am so left wing that I don't know how to do a left turn.

Track workout. Best I have felt in a few weeks. Only a few coughs here and there. Did a 20 minute warmup so probably 2 miles and change. Workout was 200m repeats as usual. Usual caveat about my split times being off because of my impenetrable split button on the watch. I really am an idiot for continuing to use it but I didn't have my other watch so I had no choice. All the ones starred are slow by 2 seconds or more. After the 200s, I wanted to run a 400m where I cruised the first 200, and ran hard the last 200. It went about as well as I could have hoped.

Track workout all by my lonesome. Track at the college was closed where the group I sort of run with on Tuesday nights sometimes runs. So I went to a different track and ran by myself. I did sort of a weird workout where I started with 200m repeats and worked in some 400m intervals where I cruised the first 200 and then ran hard to finish with a negative split. I'm mentally preparing myself to run an 800 where you have to be able to run really hard even though you're already in so much oxygen debt. I'm not sure if this workout makes sense but I feel like it I got some good work in.

Mile loops of 8:07, 8:00, and 7:57. Felt out of shape, probably because I am. Pretty windy.

Parked at the Fox Hollow trailhead of Ridgeline and took the trail to Dillard, down the road for a half mile, over Mount Baldy, back around Mount Baldy, down the fun trail, and up the alternate way up Fox Hollow back to my car. Felt pretty good to get on the trails for the first time in a long time.

Was dying all weekend with a cough and runny nose. I actually kept track of how many times I coughed on Saturday (89) so I could gauge improvement the next day. The number was only in the 40s so Sunday night I decided to go for an easy jog. I was just glad to be able to run after basically 4 full days where I felt like complete shit.

Went to a concert at a bar last night and decided to drink beers and walk home, so my run today was back to my car. Felt better than yesterday.

Mile loops of 8:21 and 7:55. First run since my surgery six days ago. My left knee started hurting about halfway through, but my surgery area felt fine, which is good.

I was sick a lot lately. This was workout was done in a time where I could run. I got really sick the next day after this. This was sort of a random workout. I was planning on doing 200 meter repeats. What ended up happening was I did 4 200m repeats, took a 4-5 minute break, ran a pretty solid 400m with a group, took a 4-5 minute break, then did 4 more 200m repeats. I really hate my Garmin watch though. The split button is so hard to press that I never get accurate times. I'm actually going to try to return it. I bought it from REI, so we'll see. I'm tired of complaining it about as I am sure anyhow I run with is tired of hearing about it. Workout details below
4:41 recovery then 400m in 73.
5:28 recovery then 4x400 in (32.4, 35.9, 34.5, 34.6) 1:40 recovery between each
Did about 2 mile cd
