2014 Indoor Season By The Numbers

Recovery 8 miler on Saturday,it allowed me to get any leftover crap put of my legs from Friday nites 1,500m and also kept me on pace for my 40 mile week.
It also allowed me a chance to reflect on the 2014 Indoor Season that I 'd just concluded,6 races over 11 weeks here's the data:
Jan 9th 1,000m NYC Armory 2.59.6 3rd of  11
Jan 25th Mile Cornell 4.57.1 4th of 8

Feb 6th 800m NYC Armory 2.16.78 7th of 13
Feb 27th Mile NYC Armory 5.02.4 17th of 19
Feb 28th 800m NYC Armory 2.14.11 6th of 9

Mar 21st 1,500m NYC Armory 4.32.58 13th of 14

Over 6 races I'd say I batted 500 the 1,000m,the 2nd 800m and 1,500m were acceptable, both mile races and my first 800m were awful but like I always say you can learn something from a defeat,Cornell taught me I needed to be back upto 40mpw and while it took 6 weeks I finally got there #nothankstoyouoldmanwinter
The second mile I discovered my brain and my body were on different page,maybe even different books in terms of where I was at at that time of the season and the first 800m was a reminder to not only get a good reaction to the gun but also be mindful of basics ie DON'T get trapped on the rail.

Of the three good races the 1,000m was my first race in 17 months and I said if I could go sub 3 I'd be happy w/ that,the second 800m I ran  a much better race than Feb 6th period and also shaved 2 seconds off my time and the 1,500m I was only 2 seconds off my projected time.
Now according to USATF Masters Rankings I have the #2 M50 800m and 1,500m times this year and #10 for the mile but I think some of the Indoor Nationals times are missing from that list so I'm taking it has a definative list but second over 800m and 1,500m for my age group dosen't suck
