8 by 800 with CNW 2:33-34 average

Ran mostly with Seth B. for the first six, but then ran the last two solo. Could probably have tried to run with Gabi and Jordan but I didn't have the confidence.

Eight mile tempo run with Lance, Jon C., Geoffrey, Gabi (AKA fast people). I was able to hang on though: 7 miles at 5:45 then 1 at 5:27. Starting to get it back after a few down weeks.

Brutal workout today. Goal was a four mile tempo starting at 5:45 and cutting down ten seconds per mile. We decided to run to Green Lake as the first mile was supposed to be slightly easy.

First split was 5:51, then I took the lead and ran a 5:41 for the second mile. However, I think my watch was shortchanging as everyone around me had 5:36. After that Nick D. and I just started to hammer. Third mile in 5:29 ish. Then Nick found another gear and I just tried to hold on. He ran 5:11 for the last mile, and I ran 5:15! The last mile was very hard but I think it was supposed to be so that's ok.

AM 2.9 to work

PM CNW workout: 4 mile tempo + 6 by 200m. After last week I was feeling more confident about a 4miler at 5:30 pace (which was the assignment), but I commented before the workout that it would be comfortable for perhaps 6 laps. Therefore I spent the first few laps sitting at the back of the group. The pace didn't feel fast, but we kept clicking off 82s.

At the mile a gap started to open at the front, so I accelerated and filled in the open spot. Naturally after that the whole group started to go a little faster. As we were ahead of pace I didn't go to the front until the last two laps, when I sped up to just about 80 per lap.

Splits of 5:29, 27, 27, 21=21:44. Compares favorably to the 22min tempo run a few weeks ago when I ran 5:40 pace.

I did surprisingly well on the 200s, running in the 33s for each one and mostly keeping contact with the younger guys,

AM 14.2

Ran to the Roosevelt high school for the CNW workout. It's the weekend of the Eugene/London Marathon so a ton of people were gone, along with all the people recovering from Boston. My workout was a 'broken tempo': 3 miles at 10k pace + 5-6 seconds per mile followed by 1min rest then a hard mile.

Originally it looked like I was going to be doing the workout alone but then Mitch decided to drop back and run with me. We traded of laps and ran totally even 5:34,34,34=16:42. We were fighting a wind on the home stretch.

For the hard mile, Mitch took off extremely fast, but I passed him after about 400m and ran alone the rest of the way. Splits of about 78,79,81,75=5:13.

Overall an ok workout, seeing as I was still sore from wednesday.

Ran 19.9 miles early at Green Lake. I ran a couple of laps on the dirt (8 miles total at 7:15 pace) to warm up then did 8 miles at 6:14 pace which should be right around marathon pace.
