Following some amateur racing advice and taking a rest day 2 days before my race instead of the day before.  Didn't want to take the day totally off, so I ran a mile.

Wasn't mentally in the game today, due to my fiancee's near drowning experience on the lake yesterday.  That type of panic, mixed with a poor diet and no sleep = the exact opposite of my recipe for 5k success.  Usually I am disappointed about a bad race for a few days but today I just felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude that Ryan is alive (in the hospital).  Happy 4th!

2 mile warm up, 200 and 1000 meter time trials with 5 minutes rest in between.  Tried to time using my less than functional ipod, so I'm approximating 32 seconds and 3:40,  Not impressed.  I know my legs aren't recovered from Wednesday's race yet though, they just didn't have and couldn't get that springy feel.  I was just gonna go an easy 5 today but I saw that workout for the day in my Lydiard book and it just seemed so much more appealing.  And now I can slip back into my normal weekly routine despite the interruption of a Wednesday race.

Felt amazing today! 12:30 am, The Killers blaring through my brand new headphones  "I've got this feeling underneath my feet like something underground's gonna come up and carry me..."

200 and 400 time trial. 32 and ?.  Was suppose to be an 800 time trial but I guess I went out too fast and burned myself out.  Discouraged, but I'll get over it.

Fell outta the groove since I started my new job. The new Goodwill.  Get to bike there and back every day too... While listening to The Strokes....  I'm like sooo Indy.  I mean no I'm not.  Not used to standing all day and forgot how much work takes outta me!  Pretty much used to it now tho, so from now on will be back on track. Today 5 slow miles with 6 50 to 100 yard speed pick ups
