15 mile BIG workout this morning with Dave and Logan. I woke up at 3:25 a.m to be at the track so we could be running at 4 a.m. 3 mile warm-up in Green Springs, 2 mile Tinman tempo back to the high school 5:45, and 5:50 splits, then 6x1000m on the track, and a 5 mile cool-down all done before 5:45 a.m. What did you do this morning?

1000 split times were: 3:12, 3:15, 3:14, 3:14, 3:14, 3:13 and I was really pleased with how the workout went. I went in feeling like I'd try and keep them all under 4 min's and call it good. But once we got going it flowed pretty nice. Only on the last one did I start dry heaving at the end. The highlight was that I really didn't have any stomach issues. Don't ask me why? Last night at the BBQ I downed steak, chicken, veggies of all sorts, fruit, Kool-aid, 2 brownies, and strawberry cheesecake frozen yogurt, plus a little pool water.

Really glad to hit a solid workout like this and feel so positive at the end. It's been a while since I've felt that pumped about my running. So hopefully I'm heading in the right direction. (stratus black- 30)

Did you clean your plate, young man? You are a growing boy and need your calories! (But, dang, that many?)

Great workout and glad to hear you are so positive about your running. Keep up the hard work and St. George will be yours!

If thats what you call a good time by calling you then I will have to pass:) Great workout and on a full tummy too!

From Jon on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 10:44:48

Are those your split times or mile paces for those splits? I can't believe you got up before me and jtshad, either!

From jtshad on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 11:20:53

Holy cow, I did read you entry close enough to see your start time, was it this early because of the heat or due to schedule?

From dave holt on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 13:31:48

Good job today Clyde - change your times to 3:somethings not 5:_ _.

From Superfly on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 15:05:11

Oops. I fixed the 5 min something splits to 3 min something... Yes it was early and my brain wasn't working.

Jeff we it was because of the heat and scheduling. We all agreed that the time wasn't too bad once you got going.

From Jon on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 15:08:48

It's not so bad the first few days. But it starts to wear on you if you wake up that early every day, in my opinion. But I am very impressed at your times- I can hardly get going faster than 7:30 pace that early in the morning, so 5:10 pace is amazing!

From Adam RW on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 18:49:03

That is some tight running. I'm afraid to call the number in your post. Is it going to redirect me to somewhere I shouldn't be :)

From Superfly on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 20:22:33

Adam if you call that number it will go straight to Logan's voicemail. He'll get back to you when he's got time!

From Logan on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 21:21:06

Nice work this morning. We should go earlier next time.

From Jon on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 22:02:19

You 3 are nuts! Don't let Logan be in charge of when you meet.

From dave holt on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 22:24:48

Why even sleep next time? I told you the girls would be up this morning. Now I am hoping they will go to bed so I can.

From Paul Petersen on Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 19:59:27

Jeepers, you were hauling! 200m rest, I'm assuming?

From Superfly on Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 20:18:53

Paul- Thanks I was pretty pumped after the workout. Going in I didn't know what times to even look for. Next time I'll try and keep them all under 3:14 and try to push a couple out at around 3:10. Yes we did 200 recoveries. It was a beast but like you said when it's done you'll be really happy to have done it- and that was the case with all of us.

Logan was a mad man hitting 3:03ish type times for the workout.
