Mon-Wed 6/18-20/2012 Regeneration Thu, 6/21/2012 6 miles easy down Bonnie Branch in 43:17 Fri, 6/22/2012 6 miles easy in Patapsco Valley State Park in 40:16 Sat, 6/23/2012 2 miles, 2 x 1600m in 5:08, 5:08 (rest 1 min), 2 miles * Gotta say, very surprising workout. Headed out to Long Reach, had a good first 2 miles, then got on the track and attacked the workout, but without looking at my splits. I just wanted to run. Was working well and was pleasantly surprised at the initial 5:08. Then, with minimal rest for my fitness, started up and was working to the point that I thought I was going to run 5:20's. I really fell apart the last 100m, which actually cost me a sub-5' effort, but nailed an identical 5:08, which was a very, very good sign. Cool work, got me pumped, going, and feeling good. This will be PR HM race pace in Houston. Sun, 6/24/2012 14 miles easy around Patapsco in 1:37:28 Total 32 Miles

I was in so much pain, could barely walk and was just frustrated with myself. Thankfully, on my test run this morning, the glute held up well. Picked up my packet at Mt. Washington and am brimming with confidence because their 8% grade seems less steep than the 8% grades I have been running. The only flaw in my training is lack of 1hr+ at 8-12% grade, so that will be a challenge. I need to avera...
