Did they bang the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?

November 12

9mi, 1:02:59 (7:00/mi): Ford-Franklin. Good easy run working the hills and the spectating out of my legs. In the taper and figure out the last couple of honing workouts. And rest.

Week: 50mi. Fine. Hadn't realized until Thursday that the race was only two weeks away. Made me feel better about not getting in mileage...

November 11

8mi, Wkout. 4xCemetary Miles, 3min R. Actually more like 4x5min segment, since this was all unmeasured. 5:10, 4:53, 4:57, 4:57. Pretty close, I suspect. Biz was also there doing some kind of downhill 400s workout (approximate splits: 65/85 down and up). But it give me someone to chase on the ups. Felt ok and fairly strong on the uphills. Downhills were tough and definately where each interval hurt the most.

November 10

7mi, 49:48 (7:07/mi): LS8. Eh, ok. 200s took more out of the legs than I'd thought, but good stretching after.

11/14 T-Miles
5x threshold miles in 5:40. This felt bad for most of the run until I took off the long sleeve and just had it on with my blue singlet. Triumphed in the end after falling off as much as to 5:48. Recovered to 5:37 to finish. It clearly took a few repeats to shake out off the long run. The track here has 1.5 lights for a total of 1 candle power. Still the surface is flat and better than many other darkened routes.
