The blocks were stacked all screwed up when I came in today, I was running out of time so I just re-stacked them as I found them. Spray paint markings along across the seams might help folks not screw them up. They are a royal pain to do by yourself…
+ Track workout: run the following at same pace throughout, 1st mile pace is the pace you hold (should be ~80% effort).
2400 m warmup
2 x 1600 m / 100 m walk + 100 m jog rest
2 x 800 m / 50 m walk + 50 m jog rest
2 x 400 m / 100 jog rest
1600 m barefoot jog cool down
Pace was just under 6 min/mile. Tried to keep it respectable as olympian Mary Wineberg was out on the track today…
Today’s forecast calls for pain and suffering. Just reading that makes me nauseous. Good luck CSC’ers…
Funny we were just discussing our distaste for thrusters yesterday…

Steve , was that rx’d? And was that a PR?
No PR today, I’m still building up to peak massage form – I’m confident I can go at least 120 minutes on a good day…
