This week went very well for me, other then a slight head cold I was very happy. Had a good workout and a great race, I ran this course last year in 60:05, The goal was to try and break 60 which I did. A lot of thanks has to go to Dan V. for making me stay with him when I wanted to give in and slow down. The other guys also ran real well, Fyffe-50:58,Miller-51:50,Hammett-54:09 and Bojo-62(on his second day of racing) Next on the schedule is New Bedford which allows me 3 weeks of training and getting back to longer Sunday runs

Sat- 5m(34:41)
Sun- 13m (2 races mile-4:42,800-2:14)

The goal of the workout was to stay in control and not get in over my head. Doing the workout with Hammett and Boj really helped with that as i was able to just hang onto Hammett. Boj was just a few secs behind on the repeats, Overall i thought the workout went very well. The other guys did a much longer workout 8xmile which basically made me rethink every wanting to do marathon training.

So this week went pretty good the workout went well even tho i went with the group I did my own workout which left me to run alone. The race was good I tend to go from one extreme to the other when it comes to racing. I tend to go straight to the lead and try to push then hang on, this weekend I did the opposite and finally took the advice from Hammett and BOJ and got out a bit easier, the only thing other then time that I feel still needs work was that instead of getting into the middle of the pack I went right to the back.Overall I am happy with the week and look forward to next weekend.

Been a while

So its been some time since i last posted here is the run down of the past few weeks.
I managed to avg. 70-75 miles a week with some good workouts. spent most of the time at drummer hill doing mile repeats. I was able to run 6:01 for a repeat, for those of you who are unaware of drummer its a mile long uphill. 6:01 was a huge PR for that workout. Race wise I did a couple miles 4:41 and a couple 800's 2:12. last weekend I attended the Terrier Invite the plan was try to get around 9:00 for the 3k, I was on pace threw 2k then fell apart ended up running 9:22 so that event has still not gone how i would have liked it to go this season. I was hoping to build on the 9:05 from last.
