I did not know what I was going to do for a workout so I did one 400@ 75 and felt pretty good so I did a couple of sets with James and Brad. 200, 400, 600 with 200 rest after the 2's and 4's. times were as follows. 200@ 32, 400@ 75, 600@ 2:03, 400 rest then 200@ 31, 400@ 78, 600@ 1:59. total 3m for day. I felt better than expected and would have liked to do one more set but I had to go pick up Bryant a soccor practice. Havn't decided if I will be at the track next week or do the 3 mile fun run in Brattleboro.

Vermont City
ANGELLA MADE IT!!
Ang did an amazing job on a brutally hot day. 90% humidity and in the 80's. She ran with Jen Porter, lifelong family friend and wife to Jason Porter, for the first half in 2:07. At the half way point Ang's sister, Melanie, picked up the second half from Jen and finished in 4:38. The heat really started to get to them along with the distance. She is very excited and feeling really good just days later although says she will never run another marathon. Although she has already signed us up for the Rock-n-Roll half marathon in Providence R.I. on August 7th. Go Ang, great job.
As for myself, I did just about how I expected to do having not done any long runs. One fifteen miler 5 weeks ago just doesn't cut it. I still finished in 3:06:04. I think this is a good place to start hard training for a fall marathon. I was hoping to run around 7:00 minute pace, but basically just ran off how I was feeling. The first 5 miles were at 6:40-6:45 and feeling pretty easy. Once the heat started in I began to slow. Around 14 miles I really began to feel like I was struggling. Although the drummers at the bottom of the hill at 15 miles really pumped me up to get over the hill. Overall I had a good day, alot of fun with family and friends, and a good training run. Some of my spits are, 10 miles- 1:07:32, half- 1:28:15, 18 miles-2:02:27. I am feeling good and ready to start training hard to run a 2:50 marathon this fall.

get it together
I haven't been blogging, I have time to run, or time to blog, not both. Guess which takes priority? I haven't been putting in any big miles but the runs I am doing are going amazingly well. Judgeing from my workouts I think I am close to being in the best shape I have been in for this time of year. My tempo runs are getting longer and easier. The main problem is I haven't been able to get any long stuff in at this point. That all starts this weekend at Vermont City. Why not have my first long run of the season be 26.2 miles. Best to run before you crawl I always say. I am looking forward to a great summer. Angella is felling great and she wants to do more racing this year after the marathon. She is all set for her first 26.2 miler, a little nervous although she won't admit it. She is also excited to be raising money for research, she feels she has to do this to give back for her increasingly good health. www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/angella-joslyn/vermont-city-marathon-1 This is her website for all those interested in helping her out. She is the strongest and most determined person I have ever met, and she puts it to good use. I keep my fingers crossed for luck and pray for her to have a long, happy and meaningful life. I love you Ang.
