Francis Field

Not much to report....the weekend was pretty un athletic, unless you count dancing. I had such a great weekend though with Crystal and the girls. I wish they could be here every weekend.

Today it was back to the track. Man do I feel s l o w . There was some sort of track/runners club at Francis Field tonight and it made me crave being in awesome shape again and being able to dance around the track like no big deal.

Tonight I ran to the U City track, where there was track practice, so then I turned around and ran to Wash U track (AKA Francis Field). The track was recently re done and in very nice condition. I will go back. Hopefully more ofter than not since I really enjoyed the track workout, just need more of them! I wanted to do 10 quarters with 200 M recovery. What was I thinking?! I actualy made it with 8 and 2o0M recovery so all-in-all I got in 3 miles on the track and about 2 warm up and 1.5 cool down. My goal was 1:30 (OK actually 1:45 but 1:30 would have been nice). I was under 2:00 each time and under 1:45 all but 2 times. One lap I got so mesermized by the girl sprinting 3000M that I forgot what I was doing and looked down at my watch and was at like 1:05 at the 200M mark. YIKES!. That girl finished her 3200M (2 miles ) in 9:51. Crazy. She was doing 75 sec splits. What a feeling to be that fast. She had kick ass legs too. Now theres some motivation. Maybe if I keep going there I will get faster just breathing their air.....

One can dream huh!
