weights and running fast

am weights at the gym with j...my key tag still works...funny...soon i will get in the habit of school gym but it is nice to be able to go with j...so sleepy though...not even half awake in the car ride over...maybe half awake by the time i was done...glad to be meeting a friend for coffee later in the morning...

saw j off to work then over bouldin...got a double soy latte...yummy...nice second breakfast with ximena out on the patio...watching things happen...not too busy there on a wednesday morning...

home to do more research on nutrition for the bike...there is so much information out there...it is hard to narrow it all down...and figure out what it is i believe and what i want to try...

track workout in the evening was fun...and fast and short...ran ~10m warm-up did drills...two laps of strides then a 1 mile time trial...i ran a 7 minute mile :) i was happy with that...hard...and totally parched...but i was smiling...then we did partner 400 repeats...when one person was finishing the other was starting and we got to run ~40m together...that was fun...jeremiah and i were partners since we are training for Ironman distance stuff...so we did 6 repeats...kept pace at 1.48 for really all of the repeats...fluctuating by a second or so...and finished at 1.46...then we were supposed to run another mile faster than our first...but only one guy (who is just a machine and the first age grouper to cross the finish line at races...and the guy who sets course records) did that last mile...uhm he ran it in 4.33 seriously...this guy is good!...the rest of us ate popsicles :) that was wonderful...coach logan had some where to be so we were done after that...home by 7.30

burgers on the grill for dinner...read up on some of the adventures of some IMCdA finishers...and in bed just before 10pm...totally spent...
