I know the workout today was supposed to be 'Jason' but my brother Travis was in town and we had the opportunity to run the Ridgeline Ramber in Eugene.  Travis, an endurance athlete, tackled the 20k and I settled for the 10k.  There was a lots of ups and lots of downs (including a rather large hill) but we had a blast.

My time:  49:36  (10k)

Travis time: 1:42:34 (20K)

A good buddy of mine raced and got second!   Congrats Tolman.  1:24:27 (20k)

I took some quick videos and i may put them on here a bit later.

Thats it.  3.12 miles.  Woot.  Touch the Barger traffic light post and back.

My strategy - go after my PR of 21:30.  Last few times I've been 30 seconds or so short but lets give it a go.  Just trying to beat it by a couple seconds.

5/1/08 - Very pleased with a new PR (since years ago) of 21:23.  Very fast 2nd mile at 6:45 - with a painful third mile of 6:58.  With just under a half mile to go this poor guy asked me where the bus stop was, all I could do was grunt.  He then saw me look at my watch and asked what time it was.  I grunted twice.  I wasn't much help.   I hit my MAX heart rate of 182 on the last 100 meters of this run.  Click here to see more data about my run.

Otto set a benchmark for himself and ran two miles in 19:00.

Mike Q - Rowed 5k:  24:03

4/15/08 - Mike Q - 5k - 30:03 Congrats on your first 5k! 

Jeremy Stecker - 45:57 - A new PR by 13 seconds!

Running is the best way to learn to make your body do things when your mind is telling you to slow down.  It's the best "head game" workout.

Run 800 meters x 4 for time.

Rest as needed between efforts.

If its even mildly easy you're not going hard enough.  As far as the rest, I'm going to keep track of my rests so I can measure it against the next time this workout comes up, although this is the first time I've seen this one.
