MPW

Pretty good week. The sun is shining! The birds are singing! My beard is gone! Clearly the three are correlated. I think I'm also pretty far ahead of where I was last year in workouts - the 500, 300, 200 workout last year around this time was significantly slower (also, significantly tougher-feeling). Today's felt really good - maybe a sign that I should have worked on the 500 a little harder, but c'est la vie.

Sun: 68 mins, 10 mi with Will at Wellesley.
Mon: Off.
Tue: 6 mi warmup
6x600 eq rest - 1:44, 1:43, 1:43, 1:43, 1:44, 1:44. This was pretty tough. Everyone else looked good and I was barely hanging on.
Wed: 58 min, 8.25 mi
Thu: First outdoor practice! I may have too quickly changed to t-shirts - it gets pretty cold at night - but who cares.
6 mi warmup
6x200 90R - 29, 29, 29, 28, 28, 28. Felt easy (as it should).
Fri: 52 mins, 7.25 mi
Sat: 6 mi warmup
4x 500 (300j) 300 (200j) 200 (500j)
1:20, 47, 32
1:22, 48, 32
1:22, 48, 31
1:21, 47, 30
Solid! Amazing weather. My newly-bald head is slightly sunburnt. I want to try and run all 7 days next week - work will be a little less wild and that'll help, energy-wise.
