Week 3 (or 4): Last week was actually a pretty good one. I was too beat after “the Loop” to do much on Monday except ride my old mountain bike up and down neighborhood hills for 30 minutes with my MP3 player. Tuesday, I made it to the track in the morning with the goal of doing 4x400’s, 2x800’s and 1x1600, but struggled mightily and managed only 5x400 (76 average) + 1x800 (2:47). Wednesday, I had good intentions but got too busy at work and did absolutely nothing. Thursday, I got to Barton Springs at 6:00 am, jogged to Austin High where the Gazelles were doing 400’s, and did 10 with Floyd at between 74 and 78. Friday, I ran a short 7 around the lake in 49 minutes – not too bad since it was afternoon and already 90 degrees. Saturday, it was back to the track for 4x400 (75’s) + 2x800(2:40, 2:44), then Sunday I did 7 in the neighborhood - 31+ total for the week. The Glucosamine seems to be doing the trick. Either that or I’m well rested - my joints are feeling great. I've got to get to the point that I'm doing three interval miles regardless of pace.
