Fast Friday

Postby Jogger Barbie » Fri May 23, 2014 9:02 am

As in: Friday sure got here fast, this week! And I hit the TM this morning for my first post-Boston progression run, parts of which were pretty fast. :) 7.8 miles in total and felt great at the end.

Good luck to all the racers and pacers this weekend. May the weather gods smile on all of you and may you all achieve your race goals. Looking forward to the reports. :)

More hills for me this morning (I have a very hilly trail race that I'm preparing for).

I have an 800m circuit on my locals trails- an uphill with lots of roots and mud, and a couple of very steep sections, then a long downhill. I go moderately hard up the hill, then drop the hammer as soon as I come over the top. It hurts.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
