Ere We Go,Ere We Go,Ere We Go

Ironic that Saturday marked four weeks till 5th Avenue Mile and effectivly the end of my season it also marked the start of the 2014/15 English Premier League season which means for the next nine months much of my schedule will be dictated by when my beloved Spurs play!!!!!
Taking a leaf out of our motto Audere Est Facere or To Dare Is To Do for those of you not fluent in Latin I hit Geasey Field for the fourth of seven scheduled 2x150m 4x400m Decathletes Mile repeats at 9.45am secure in the knowledge I'd pre set the dvr to record our season opener away to wet spam{West Ham} for the 10am kick off,keen as I was to see the game live the prospect of not arriving at Geasey Field till 1pm and subsequently not getting done till gone 2pm kind of kills my whole day so it was the workout first then home gone lunch time to enjoy the game......and fingers crossed I'd be celebrating two victories!!!!

Following my easy mile warm up it was time to have at it,10 days ago on my last crack at this repeat I went
23.13
23.28
on my opening 2x150m repeats
66.26
67.00
67.24
67.73
on the 4x400m repeats,followed by splits of
1.23
1.28
1.26
1.17
for a 5.34.16 Decathletes Mile

Saturday went:
2x150m
22.88
22.79
Maybe I need to watch more Usain Bolt highlites via "Athletix" b4 my 150s in the coming weeks!!!

4x400m
64.57
65.52
66.07
67.36
Granted I was losing a second per 400m but I was still steeets ahead of my Aug 6th outing,I'm no Martyn Rooney{European 400m Champion} but I bet he can't do what I did over the Decathletes Mile.......

1.21
1.26
1.26
1.14
5.27.83
My fastest Decathletes Mile to date as I continue to lower that time each week,w/ three more repeats on tap the next three Saturdays it'll be interesting to see how much faster I can get not just w/ the mile but also the 150s and 400s

Having done my bit on the track I returned home to catch the  wet spam SPURS game......oh the unbridaled joy at scoring the games only goal in stoppage time to win 1.0......C'MON YOU SPURS!!!!
