PM1- Busy day at work. So it was nice to get home and get in a run. Today is speedwork. So its 1 mile warm-up(with strides). And then right into 4x 800 @ 3:13 with a 2 min RI. And then 10 min cooldown. Boy do I need to work on my speed. This was another tough run. But got her done.

Mile 1 8:50 With 2 strides.

4x 800 @ 6:24 pace(3:12) RI ran at 10:00 pace for 2 mins.

Mile 3.8-5.0 8:30 pace

TT 40:00 AP 8:00

PM2- Went and played some bball to loosen up and get ready for the big game this weekend. This weekends game is against our rival weekend.:) We are playing the other team from our ward and is the last game of the regualar season. So a big game.:) Played for 2.5 hrs tonight. Some of it half court and some full. But never sat once which was really a nice workout. Also was invited to play for the vets team in region. Which would be 2 games in March. I guess the vets are the old farts(35+)LOL and I am one now.

Nice workout Mark!

Way to get it done Mark. Intervals are my least favorite run.

I need to do my long run in the am on Saturday so that I can take my kids to a swimming lesson at 12:30. I'm leaving next week and won't be back til March, so how about a run in March?

Good run, those times look plenty fast to me. I think your bball is contributing to your training.

Good effort Mark.

Vinh- Thanks man. I just hate those speed workouts.

Fly- Sure March run will be awesome. I just have the Spectrum 10k going on then.

Flat- I sure hope that it is. Sure makes me feel thinner that is for sure. Just wish the scale was on the same page with me.

Paul- Thanks bro.

Missy- Is that were you train with the coach?? We will have to check it out. There is also some swim/bike/run store around there too that the wife is wanting to go to.

Powertri actually is a shop (in Lehi)..sells bikes, clothes, etc...Their website is www.powertri.com. If you want to speak with Heath sometime he's very personable..And knowledgeable and actually works I think 2 days a week or so at powertri for like 2 hours.

Oh and I train with the coach..he has a continuous pool at his home..if we need a "real" pool we have met at Gold's gym since we both have memberships there.

Oh I just found this email for Heath.....heath@powertri.com If you want to go and bug him! ;P

Very nice Missy.:) Really appreciate it. We will have to hook up with him. And the wife keeps talking about going to that store too. I would love to have one of those continuous pools too. Where to put it. Hmmm..

From Rhett on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 12:30:06 from 74.32.219.217

The more you do speed work, the easier it gets. And the easier slow runs feel.

From missy on Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 00:10:40 from 71.32.197.192

Huans....For sure anytime. :)I don't really like the continuous pool but I guess you get used to it after a while..I have only been in it 3x. Go on a date with your wifey tomorrow for a mid-day date...Don't know if Heath is there on a Sat..think just T and TH afternoons...Those pools are surprisingly big...Back yard..lol.
