i will not - southern miss baseball tonight. plan to run afterwards since i didn't get out of bed to do it this morning.

have a great workout!

It'll be closer to 6 when I get to Thames.

Susan mentioned that one of the Biggest Loser participants was at Tuesday track. How about a report from one of you who was there? Since I've been helping Robin with the OG track team, I have been unable to attend but I do like reading about who was there and what you did.

I'm not sure what everybody else did but I saw Vicky, Dawn, Ginny, Audrey, Kily and Eric there. I do not know how many miles Kily ran but he was running when I got there and then joined me for my workout. I did 12X200, avg 7:45 pace, with 1 mile warm up and cool down. It was a very enjoyable run with Kily's help.

Dawn, Audrey and I ran 4 400s at an 8 min. pace - I think. I think Ginny did 200s. Terry suggested that we do the 400s slower than usual due to the 20K trail run tomorrow. I stopped after the 1 mile cool down, but the younger runners kept going. I'm listening to my more mature body, just like Becky suggests!

There were 2 new runners there and we gave them suggestions. They seemed to enjoy it and plan to return. I didn't know one of them was a Biggest Loser participant. Becky, we need you back at the track!

I trained at Thames Track on Tuesday Night.

My plan was 4 x 400. Dawn suggested recovery between which helped out a lot (thank you Dawn). So I ended up doing the following:

1 x 400 walk
2 x 400 wu/jog
4 x 400 with 400 recover between (walked 3 and jogged 1)
2 x 400 walk cd.

I also got to run a couple of laps with Killy who also gave excellent advice about my breathing and helped me speed up for 100 yards of my last 400 pretty cool to know that I can actually push my pace a little more.

I enjoyed talking to Kristin and her friend. I looked for last years 5K training to give them my copy to help them but I could not find it. If anyone still has it somewhere I think that will be a great help for them.

Will there be anyone at Thames tomorrow? I think Audrey and I will be at T on T and Vicki is out of town.

T on T will be much more fun than doing a track workiout.

Not me, Track on Tap good...... Speed training Bad. Besides, I owe Becky a drink.

Mike is wrong! I'm the one buying him a drink, but only if he agrees to run slowly enough that I'm not totally left behind by the rest of the group.

I'll be at Thames. I'll miss all 'o ya'll regulars. Have fun at T on T.

I think I'm going to try to get on out and do my speed before the rain comes. If it's not raining at 5:30, I'll drop by just to check in.

I am still feeling jet lagged, but unless "there comes a flood", I will be there!! Ginny, what is your speed plan this week? Until I find a race and training plan, I will borrow yours.

vicki and i are planning on being there.

As usual, I will not be at Thames tonight. Oak Grove has a track meet. I did my workout earlier today and I challenge the rest of you to do this same workout.

1 mile WU
12 x 200 @ sub 5K race pace with 100 jog recovery (no walking)
1 mile CD

It wasn't that difficult, once I got going. In fact the last 6 were faster than the first 6 with an average of 1:04 which is a sub 27 for the 5K. That's what I'm aiming for on Saturday.

I won't be at Thames tonight either. Both of my girls are leaving at O-dark-thirty in the morning and we're having a special family dinner. I think we'll have to leave for the NO airport at 4:00 a.m. Ewwwwwww!
