"And he still gives his love,he just gives it away the love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky,a human being that was given to fly"
Given To Fly-Pearl Jam.
It was during Bruce Springsteen's induction speech of U2 that the comment about the Irish and Italians came to the fore,I can't speak for the Italians but yeah the Irish.....we come thro the door hearts and fists first,as the ould fella always told me"shoot first,ask questions later"
So following another of those days at work I was given to fly,be it off the handle or around the track for my 6x600m repeats.
Physics wasn't one of my stronger subjects in high school but I was curious which would win out the lingering soreness in my legs from Sundays 12 miler or the spittin venom that was coursing it's way thro my veins takin' doors out like it was going out of style,one way or another this was going to be an interesting repeat!
Conditions were ideal, a mild evening no wind and cool enough for tshirt and shorts,it's only a matter of time b4 that changes but for now let's make hay while the sun shines.
#1 600,73-37-1.50.94.Almost a tad too conservative on the closing 200m,having gotten too cute w/ my 200s last time out I tried to hold back a little on the opener and almost knawlsed it up from the get go.
#2 600m,70-38-1.48.52.A stronger opening 400m meant I could cruise the closing 200m w/out any worries,granted 38 seconds is slow but in a repeat it's not the point to be blasting opening splits if it leaves the tanks empty at the end of the session.
#3 600m,73-35-1.48.12.Just as w/ #1 I was guilty of not being 100% focused over the opening 300m and had to shake things up a bit over the second half to stay on course.
#4 600m,70-36-1.46.98.Emm where did that 1.46 pop up from? I'd been consistant throughout the repeat which is clutch, fast splits are great but only if all of them land inside the target time.
#5 600m,74-34-1.48.62.The first signs of a chink in my armour{if it had been a cold nite maybe I could've said .....under armour.....!} but again thanks to consistancy over the prior 4 repeats I was able to dial up a closing 34 second 200m
#6 600m,73-34-1.47.62.Booyah! another 6/6 at 1.50 and under and another heartning sign that I'm coming into form w/ indoor season getting closer and closer,anytime I can be away from a repeat for two weeks and come back w/out missing a beat tells me I'm moving in the right direction.
Tonite helped me map out the remainder of my week,pre workout I was leaning towards back to back 1,000m/mile repeats Thur/Fri just to utilize my Friday's off but not only is that being lazy,it's dangerous and unproductive,I am still recovering from an outdoor season written off due to an achilles injury and you never really get the best results from the second of two back to back repeats,so I'll get up Sat morning and head out to either St Joe's,Lower Merion or Haverford.
There I must be back to my old self,walkin thro walls,shittin' nails,spittin' bullets and venom and going the extra mile for my workouts....recess is very much over kids.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon
It's said,you can't run away from your problems but as a runner you have the chance to run your problems away and to some degree that's what I did yesterday afternoon.
When I woke up I had no intentions of running period,much less 12 miles however......a funny thing happened on he way to 30th St train station.
As is my won't on the weekends I hang out at 30th St w/ my diary a cup of coffee and some tunes however it felt like such a beautiful lunchtime that I reprised my summer time role of taking said tunes,diary and java over to the Schuylkill Banks.
It was such a glorious afternoon I couldn't resist the chance to take full advantage of it period, but who knows when we'll see another afternoon quite like it again.
Unlike my last long run when I took the el to 30th and began my run along the banks today I began from my front door,Cedar Ave to Baltimore Ave,to 32nd St to Chestnut St and the banks.
Conditions were glorious as I made my way along the banks to West River Drive,an opinion shared by the masses,runners,walkers,cyclists,rollerbladers were out in full force.
5 miles in and I began to wonder if I was doing the right thing by continuing to head all the way to Falls Bridge and back,should I hang a left at Belmont and begin the route home....nah!
Once I crossed Falls Bridge the old distance runner in me rose to the fore,4.5 miles to Lloyd Hall and another 1.5 miles back to Chestnut St along the banks.
Again like my last long run I didn't encounter much in the way of targets to chase coming back down Kelly Drive,it was uncanny that like last time I was at Girade Bridge b4 I passed anyone.
B4 I'd even reached Chestnut St bridge I knew I'd reached my limit,still 12 miles is 12 miles a 2 mile bump from my last long run,who knows next time out I might make it the full 14.
The run helped for an hour or so I was able to clear my mind of the clutter that had taken up some loft size space in there,whilst writing my diary earlier I drew up a blue print for how I want to deal w/ that age old chestnut living life on lifes terms w/ a plan to revist said plan every three months to see how I'm doing w/ it.
Given I have a prior commitment this Wednesday I won't be doing my Mon,Wed,Fri rotation,Tue,Thur and then I'll see if I want to tackle either another repeat Fri or go long Sat.

Going Out Singing
If it's Friday I'm off work and at Franklin Field,however this Friday was a little different than usual,my last workout b4 turning 46,cometh the man,cometh the hour I wanted to end 45 on a high note.....at least where my running is concerned,the rest of my year imho is a write off,perhaps a conversation for another time and another place....
Conditions were what you'd expect for mid November,cold,grey damp,small wonder I get borderline depressed around the time of my b'day,that said I think in all honesty I'd be equally non plus about my b'day even if the weather was nicer,it's hard for me to get excited about my b'day when I know in my heart of hearts it'll be like every other day in my life,whatever I do,wherever I go it'll be by myself,so much for the theory that ones b'day is a special day cos frankly mine ends up being as hollow and empty as every other day I encounter.
The rain at least had stopped by lunchtime when I got to Franklin Field,however the track was suitably damp enough for me not to lay down and stretch but I did make a point of stretching,in these conditions and my advancing years you can't cheat that stuff,I'm not as spry as I was 10 years ago,w/ age at least comes wisdom...until I get much older and the memory starts to go...
Mile#1,1.14,1.20,1.22,1.19-5.15.67.A good start to things,the 74 second opener was a tad surprising but was exactly the kind of split I need to get things off to a flying start,the hope was I hadn't gone to the well too soon.
Mile#2,1.18,1.22,1.20,1.13-5.13.78.Uneven...yes,impressive...yes,I was guilty of not being focused on laps 2&3,who knows what my splits might've been had I kept my mind on the matter at hand?
Mile#3,1.20,1.21,1.22,1.17-5.20.10.So often the deal breaker in recent weeks today my splits didn't balloon and for a change of pace{no pun intended}mile #3 wasn't dramatically slower than the openers have been in recent weeks.
Mile#4,1.15,1.21,1.21,69-5.06.28.Wow!talk about a curtain call,if I'm not mistaken this was my fastest mile repeat mile since coming back from the injury.
A fine and fitting way to sign off on 45 not to mention underline my belief that a sub 5 min mile in my mile repeats is coming.

Rewrite
A wise man once said"it's all well and good having a system in place,but you have to allow for flexibility in order to make it work"
The game plan was 5x1,000m repeats however I ended up helping my friend Andy in a 2 mile{sorry I don't do 3,200m...it's 2 miles!}time trial.
It was a strange day....strange in a good way,beginning my work day w/ an elevator ride w/ a certain someone is always something special,again a wise man once told me"all of life's rewards don't have to be grand" sometimes a 60 second elevator ride and a brief conversation about nothing in particular can be more rewarding than that person could ever realize.
Then I got a comment on my last blog entry,sometimes writing a blog can be a bit like being a late nite radio dj,you're not sure if anyone is actually listening to you,so thank you anonymous in NH for your kind words it means alot that someone appreciates what I have to say for myself.
When I finally got to the track at 5pm the much touted rain we were expecting all day decided now would be as good a time as any to present it's self in all it's gory....NO I didn't leave out the L!!!
I've ran in the rain a gazillion times and will again,road or track but it's a narrow window of opportunity if I've already began to run or even warm up then it's a case of wtf but it's always a tough sell to strip down and ready ones self for any form of a run w/ the rain coming down and at that point I was going to bag it.
I took the opportunity to shoot the breeze w/ my friend Kim the security guard since I hadn't seen her since last Monday,I vented about work{please for the love of god Don't get me started!!}and we discussed "Eastenders"lords knows I have nobody else to talk to about it.
Anywho,as I was getting ready to leave a friend of mine Andy Elkan said hello,I haven't seen Andy since the Twilight meet at Swarthmore in May.....NO there were no vampires there...well not that I'm aware of.............thanks folks I'm here all week{get on w/ it for crying out loud!}any ways Andy asked if I'd help w/ a 2 mile time trial and I jumped in to lend my support.
Andy's goal was to go sub 10 and he just missed 10.05 off of mile splits of 5.01/5.04,it was a valiant effort.
Post run Andy and I cooled down over 2 miles and bandied about ideas for future workouts,I'd like to revisit tonites and go sub 10,I know it's doable,we also talked about future workouts as indoor track gets closer,lone wolf by nature not necessarily by choice in running or in life I'd be happy for some company on my workouts so it feels like a win win for us both.
Friday I shall return to have a crack at my mile repeats,my final workout b4 turning 46,we'll see how much life is in this old dog yet!

I Say Nothing
''There is a place somewhere sometimes you'll find me there and if I'm alone I will be sitting on the stairs.
I'll be as good as new one of the lucky few who's laughing at the joke and as I leave I laugh for you.
But I say nothing,I talk to no one I know what I believe,don't need it on my sleeve,I talk to no one I will say nothing,if we come and go alone then what's the point carrying these arcades?
"I Say Nothing" Voice Of The Beehive
A little old school lyrical inspiration from late 80s band Voice Of The Beehive who've taken up residence on my ipod of late.
Well the good news the Septa{septic....South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Is Crap} strike is over....for another 4 years{05-09-13?}let's hope next time they walk off the job I'm living closer to work or closer to a ride cos sure as shit the powers that be here at work won't be doing anything to help the worker bees,they didn't this time or the last time.......
News of the strike came too late for me to be able to get my bag ready to take to work and thus hit Franklin Field on my way home,besides there's the fall out from a week long strike that means I have a laundry list of "to do" items awaiting my attention,once they're cleared up I can focus on getting back to a normal routine and training.

Grind It Out
The Boomtown Rats may not have liked Mondays but for the past 15 weeks I've liked Fridays as it's meant I've been off work and able to get a track workout in at lunchtime,on top of that this week it meant NOT having to cycle 20 miles to and from work,frankly I was too knackered on Wednesday after getting home to turn around and head out to Franklin Field for my scheduled 5x1,000m repeats.
In spite of feeling a little weary after 60 miles on the bike the past three days I walked to Franklin Field just b4 lunchtime today to "have at it" over 4x1 mile repeats,prior to my move a mile further up the road in January I'd always walked too and from Franklin Field for my repeats since late 06,a short walk was hardly going to put me off today period and frankly I was happy to be out of the saddle,don't get me wrong,I love riding my bike....just not to and from work!!
Although the sun was out it was a tad brisk when I reached the track,not only did I opt for my long sleeved dri fit shirt but I also knew the wind was going to play a role in matters,just hopefully not as big a role as it did 2 weeks ago.
Despite the wind and despite a little soreness in the upper thighs I was going for 4x1 mile repeats AND keeping my recoveries at 4 minutes after last weeks oversight.
Mile #1,1.19,1.23,1.23,1.17-5.22.66.All things considered not a bad start,ok last week I kicked off w/ a 5.11 mile but the wind wasn't a factor,nor had I had to log 60 miles on my bike.
Mile #2,1.21,1.24,1.26,1.21-5.32.66.Now didn't feel like the time to be getting picky about 1.20 plus splits it was a case of keeping my head down and keep working no matter what.
Mile #3,1.23,1.25,1.25,1.21-5.34.01.At least mile #3 hadn't ballooned on me like it did 2 weeks ago and while my splits were little to beat my chest over I took great solice for sticking to the task.
Mile#4,1.15,1.23,1.25,1.12-5.15.65.Where the !@#& did that come from???you might well ask!
Part of the credit goes to a trio of female Penn rugby players who had set off just b4 me on the inside lanes,they gave me a target to chase for which I'm very grateful.
I'm also very indebted to the one girl who asked me what I was training for,she'd watched me the past few weeks and said I'd helped raise her energy levels by watching me run.
It's the second time in two weeks a Penn athlete has cited me as an inspiration,scant praise indeed,it's good to know my efforts can inspire athletes half my age.
I somehow doubt there's any need to "go long" tomorrow I feel the old pegs could use a rest and it remains to be seen if I head out to Lower Merion High School on Sunday to meet up w/ members of GPTC for a proposed 6x600m repeat workout,we'll see.
For now I'd like to rest my wind battered body in the recliner and ready myself for the next battle whenever it is.

Calm B4 The Storm
Another day I had to drag myself up by the shoelaces to come to the track but I'm glad that I did,another good repeat workout but also w/ the Septa whores calling a strike who knows when I'll next get to do repeats as frankly riding 20 miles to and from work is hardly ideal prep b4 repeats and at the rate things are going at work at the minute it doesn't look like I'll be taking Friday off as usual if I do I can at least walk to and from Franklin Field but I'm getting ahead of myself...
W/ the clocks going back on Sunday I was faced w/ my first workout in darkness,last week I was at least able to warm up and get my first few repeats in b4 the daylight faded,not now and not for the next 5 months,at least it was still t shirt and shorts weather but the clock's ticking on that one.
600m#1,70,37-1.47.34.A solid and comfortable opening to proceedings,start as you mean to go on.
600m#2,71,35-1.46.92.Precious little in the way of deviation from the prior repeat comfortable 400m pace easy closing 200m speed.
600m#3,72,34-1.46.57.Remarkably brisk final 200m pace something that had been lacking until today.
600m#4,74,33-1.47.26.In spite of my 400m pace creeping up I was closing faster and faster,wow those fears that my closing speed had gotten away from me was beginning to diminish.
600m#5,73-36-1.49.24.Uh oh! I knew from being hunched over at the finish line I was in dire straits b4 going into #6,all that bravado on the #2,#3,#4 200s was about to demand instant payback.
600m#6.79,40-1.59.80.Humbug! a wise man once told me"you can do anything you like in this world...as long as you're willing to pay the price that goes w/ it" and on #6 I paid the price of pushing the middle closing 200s but at this early stage of the season now's as good a time to tinker w/ my repeats and see what I've got or don't have.
Sure I'm disappointed to miss out on back to back 6/6 6x600m at sub 1.50 pace but other than that it was a good workout out.
B4 I go it'd be remiss of me not to give a shout out to my former coach GP who at 46 not only ran a sub 3 hour marathon Sunday but did it in the New Marathon City Marathon.no mean fete and also raised a lot of money for the Boomer Esiason Foundation in the process,mad props.

B4 I go it'd be remiss of me not to give a shout out to my former coach GP who at 46 not only ran a sub 3 hour marathon Sunday but did it in the New Marathon City Marathon.no mean fete and also raised a lot of money for the Boomer Esiason Foundation in the process,mad props.
