Running Fast, Going Nowhere

Weather said "3 deg F, -15 with wind chill," and I replied, "&*^% you very much!"

I was going to do todays pre-10k drill workout on the indoor track, but an invitational was happening, so no go...headed to the treadmill to do an equivalent workout. Will said 6x(800m (2:48) 200m rest 300m (57) 300m rest), and I said, that's just fine. I felt pretty good today, and I didn't even get bored on the TM, what with the pace switching up so much. I started the .5 mile repeats at 5:36 pace (1.5% grade), and eventually took the pace down to 5:27, since I was feeling good. The "300"'s started at 5:07 (probably should have started a little faster...57s is 5:04 pace), and I did the last couple repeats with 5:00 pace. I just sandwiched the 300's on at the .6 mark of every mile, and kept it up for 1:00 at pace.

The other workouts this week were pretty chill.

Wed
~50 min easy (65-70%)

Thu
2m WU, (400m - 400 rest - 600m - 400 rest - 400m - 400 rest - 200m) (70.1s - 1:52.3 *ugh* - 71.2s - 35.1s) - 30min jog
Weather was terrible. Rain and snow during the day froze about 200m into the first 400m due to a sharp drop in temps. Track ended up pretty slippery. Wind was 19mph or so. Workout wasn't so bad considering.

Fri
~50 min easy (65-70%)

I finally received a computer on order for work, so my productivity will be increasing, which means I'm gonna be busy as hell the next couple weeks. Publication deadline, and a few major talks in the next month to prepare. My first colloquium...that should be fun.
