I’ve started another blog. I’ll be keeping “and no one heard a word,” but will also write a blog at the Albert Lea Tribune. It’s called Saint Thomas Avenue.

As for workouts, here’s what I did last week:

After my race on Monday, I took Tuesday off. Then, on Wednesday, I ran about 60 minutes easy. On Thursday, I ran 30 minutes easy with some striders. Friday, I ran one of my more favorite workouts which was 6×800 meters at threshold pace, which for me when like this: 3:21, 3:24, 3:22, 3:20, 3:23, and 3:20. It was not a particularly hard work out, but it wasn’t easy either. I took about a minute rest between each 800. The work-out included a 10 minute warm-up and a 10-minute cool-down.

I took Saturday off. On Sunday night I ran 20 minutes at threshold pace through the county fairgrounds. Actually, it was probably less than threshold pace, but fun to run through the fairgrounds. On Monday I played 18 holes of golf with no cart, so that was some good walking. No run that day. I didn’t run today. Tomorrow, we’ll see, but I’m thinking another 60 minute run would be appropriate. I have a sore hamstring so I’m not hesitating to let off on the mileage a little. I’m aiming for a hard work-out on Thursday of this week, something easy on Friday and possibly something hard on Saturday, but it will be hard to get in since I’ll be in Rochester all day for the state DFL convention. My guess is that I’ll have to do something hard on Sunday instead. I’m gearing up for a race in Janesville on the 14th.

On the whole, I’m not doing a ton of mileage. Maybe after Janesville I’ll take fewer days off and see if I can get some solid training in before another race in St. Peter on the 4th of July.
