Martin Criminale | One aspiring endurance athlete: core | bike commute | lunch walk

core | bike commute | lunch walk | SRC track workout

Another full day, no doubt I will collapse tomorrow.

Went to the gym in the AM, rode to work, went for a walk at lunch and then joined the Seattle Running Club weekly track workout at the Garfield High School track.

Man, these workouts are killing me. I sure hope I reap some benefit down the road. And I guess it can only get better as I am sucking all kinds of wind currently. It sure is impressive to watch all these super fast runners... the goal today was 4 or 5 x 1 mile. I managed three miles and then blew/caved on the 4th so pulled the plug. Some of these guys were clocking low 5s and the second group was doing something around 5:45. Nice. Guys like Uli Steidl were leading the way and in spite of saying she was super tired Trisha Steidl was dropping me handily. There was a third group doing low 6s and then there was me.

The weather was beautiful again, it's so great to be outside! On days like this, running to and from the track does not suck.
