Mixed Bag

I had a great day yesterday, mixing in a morning track workout in Kent with Dan Bellinger (Vince, Mel, and Shaun Pope were all there too) with an evening of full court basketball.

In the morning, I ran a 2 mile warmup at a decent pace with Dan...a little over half of that barefoot on the track, and then wearing the Newtons. Then Dan and I split up to do our speed work. Dan had a prescribed workout from Chaney that had him doing 400 repeats, but we were on a 300m track, and doing 400's was too hard for me to keep track of...so I just ran 300m repeats with a walk lap between. I ran 10 repeats in 66, 66, 63, 65, 69, 64, 67, 66, 62, and 60 seconds. The last two repeats were run in the vibrams, and I was finding it easier to run faster in them than shoes, honestly. I cooled off with a mile cool down before leaving.

I had a busy day doing other crap and then got back down to Columbus in time to make my basketball game where I played for two hours. Good all around day! Time to reward myself with a nice long slow run.
