I've been pretty lax with my pushups and crunches in the mornings this past month... decided that I would make time for them this morning. So I was a bit behind schedule as I ran to work.

did the crunches with an added 5 pound weight (Sam leaves these conveniently in the living room [it's not so convenient when she leaves them in the middle of the room and I stub my toe in the middle of the night]) so maybe tomorrow my core will be a little bit sore.

Missed the CSU running section track workout last night, so I decided to run the workout at noon. SGB did offer to run with me if I waited until after work, but I had already planned out the day in my mind and wanted to get an afternoon run in.

really sunny which made me happy.

Terry's workout email had 3x1000 at 5k pace 4x600 at 3-5k pace 200 jog. I did the math on the jog down and came up with 3:12 for the 1000s and 1:51 for the 600s. Shared the track with the BC women's middle distance team... they were very considerate about sharing lane 1.

ran with my shirt off, not to impress the girls (I'm no Gswede) but because it was quite warm. Bit of a breeze on the back stretch. Pleased with how it went overall.

I guess that I was aiming a bit fast on the paces and that's part of why I was a bit slow on the 600s. However, I was coming through the 400 split right on 74 so it could also be the windy backstretch.
