Too much fun yesterday with the new dog and Travis and then lots of yardwork so I blew off the 4 mile prediction run.

Gorgeous morning today - probably the last one for several months.  Went to the track for some block starts and then 300, 500, 500, 300 - all at a bit less than 5:20 mile pace.  We'll see how that works out in about 5 weeks when I race the mile.

Three mile run/walk with the new doggie.  Two miles was running - mostly around 8-8:15 pace - the beast is a beast!  He actually seems to prefer a bit faster pace.  Even showed no real stress at probably 6:30 pace for about a quarter mile.

Tweaked my right hip a bit doing block starts on Sunday, so taking it easy a couple days before the 100 meter race on Thurs - Summer Track is back!

Surprisingly lovely run about an hour after a serious rainstorm.  High humidity, but temps in the low 70s - gonna miss that soon enough.  Ran comfortably at 8 flat pace with no hip pain at all.

Easy 3 mile warmup then easy 2X300 and 2x200 on the track followed by barefoot striders and cool down on the infield.  And just finished an easy mile run/walk with Cassidy - the new doggie.

Pretty satisfying first week of the Summer Track Series.  Grand Prix event was the 100 meter and, based on limited track work and very limited sprinting so far this year I was hoping to just sneak under 14.  Ran 13.61 battling the whole way with a 26-yr old who ran 13.60 - big fun.  Jumped into the 400 and cruised a 35/31 for a 1:06, and then immediately toed the line for the 1600.  Toyed with trying to hit 6 flat, but when I went through 800 at a way too painful 3:06 I bagged that plan and shut it down for a 6:36.  All-in-all, a great evening on the track - tons of "kids" of all ages having fun running.

Travis hadnt gotten his training run in yet for the day (he's a junior counselor at the day camp at his school), so he spent the first part of the meet doing about 4 miles on the trails.  When the 1600 rolled around, he paced a couple buds through 1200 at 5:20 pace and then proceeded to drop a 61 to win the race in 5:01.  The 5K was started at same time as the 1600, so he cruised two more miles with a couple of those racers - ah to be young again.
