Miles and Miles for Track Tuesday

COVID-19, “The Rona Era”

Another Track Tuesday. Another “ Tiffany” as Pacer action. When Coach Dan sent the workout for today, I didn’t look at too closely because Jordan( Team Read lead Pacer) would be back today. Well, well, well….. Plot twist. She came, felt sick, and left. It was MB and me today. What?! Oh to add to the fun, MB had to leave at 7:30a.m. So then it would be just be me. Seriously? This would be my third time being a Pacer. The first time Jordan was out of town and it was MB and me. I made sure to study the workout. The second time it was torrential rain and a small group. JIll, who is a runner in team Red had her own pacer. Today, I thought we would be back to a normal. I was so wrong.

Luckily, MB, coach Dan, and the other pacers, talked about the workout. For some reason I couldn’t wrap my head around the numbers. We did a lot of running. First 1200( 3 times around the track). 1 minute rest. 5 mins running at mile pace. 1 minute rest. 800 at 10k pace, min rest, and another 5 mins at mile pace. We went to 400 and then 200s, repeating the same thing as above.

I’m still working on pacing and laps on my damn watch. This has truly been a baptism by fire.

Team red had 3 folks. MB was the best. We worked it out and I stayed at a good pace, I think.

Now, we are getting ready for fall marathons and half marathons. The workouts will be focused on that.

The third time was charming but not the charm. We ran close to a 5k today.
