core and track

had such a good time at core/strength last week that i came back for more...and again it was hard and sweaty but a lot of fun...the hour goes by quickly but i was beat by the end...a good way to start the day...

home for a significant breakfast...yard work, baking two batches of banana cup cakes one filled with mocha butter cream for my track coach...i was mean to him on monday...ok well i gave him a mean gesture...and felt bad :( so i bake...one batch for us...like i need more sweets...anyway..they were really yummy...and wrote a letter of recommendation for a friend doing a practicum in the fall...read a bit as well...then off to track...

we (us ironman kids) are starting to add the miles so it was 2 miles...to the rock and back...even before practice got started...some laps for warm-up...drills...strides...then 6x1000m...alternating between 10k and 5k paces...4.53..4.37...4.56...4.40...5.06...4.45...not a whole lot of negative split action there...ught...but i felt strong...like i finished strong...coach said to me...as i was struggling with myself over the time thing...he said ironman makes you look at time crumple it up...rearrange it spit it out and throw it out the window...it's not about time it's about what gets you through...hmmm...ok...i will work on incorporating this idea...and letting go of the i must hit my time thing...i'm learning
