Short Distance,Long Distance

A final tune up b4 Saturday,4x150m w/ a 250m jig in between....sorry that should be jog but given the fact Floggin Molly are on my discman right now jig seems about right!!!
"Dib" and I discussed the repeat b4 hand,like a lot of this week we had to switch mindsets from miler to sprinter mode to get the best out of me for Saturday,the game plan on the 150s was run the turn hard and ease down along the straight, we figured on 20.5 being an ideal target time and I went:20.56,20.71,19.80,20.88.hopefully come Saturday afternoon when Daryl hands off to me on the anchor leg I can put this weeks shorter stuff to good use.
Post workout it was off to Franklin Field for Distance Nite,this was my 5th year in a row doing so.
Aside from catching some great 3,000m/3000m s/chase,5,000m and 10,000m races I also had the chance to root for two good friends of mine from Central Park Track Club John and Atilla who ran in the Olympic Development 5,000m,both broke 15 mins,John in 14.48,Atilla in 14.58.
For once I actually stuck around for the 10,000m,normally I,ve bailed by then in the past but I wanted to lend my vocal support to Felice another CPTC runner who ran a gutsy 10k in 36.58.
Jogged the 2.5 miles home,two less miles to have to make up over the weekend.
