Kim called at 730 am to ask if I would do speed work early this am.  We met 15 minutes later and ran to AF High Schooll (1.7 miles).  Warmed up once around the track then ran 4 X 800 meters(to the real half mile mark, the track coach was there and showed us where to start and end for a true half mile).  After yeserday afternoons 11 plus trail run hamstrings sore/tight but thought hey why not train thru fatigue and get over it.  So I did.  Stomach cramps too but I was going to push it as best I could or end up just timing Kim doing the last ones.  It turned out okay up until just before the third one and I wanted my hat off and my earphones crashed to the ground and I ran over them breaking them.  So then I had to listen to the playing of the marching bands drums,  BLAHHHH,  memories of high school, as if the track wasn't memory enough.. I got to get over it and rise above the painful memories of track, I hated track. I loved ski team and field hockey. I only ran track because my friends did. I should have played soccer but it wasn't very big back in New Hampshire.  Kim said "no pain, no gain"  I replied "yah but pain is for teenagers, running is supposed to be fun now".  She agreed so we tried our best to "have fun" living for the rest lap and the end of the final 800.  Here are our splits:  (Kim except on the second one was faster by 3 to 5 seconds and the first two she ran the second lane!! I told her that was her lot for being so fast at Nestle) 

1:  3:05    2:  3:08  3:  3:15 (remember headphone stress)  4:  3:12     

We ran a rest lap before and  in between each one and two at the end then home another 1.7 miles.

No. I work Friday and Saturday night but I hope to be at the finish line. I think it would be fun to cheer on all those I usually can't. Perhaps I will see you there. Where will you be volunteering?
