Who's Ready For Pale,Paddy And Proud?

"I don't know where love has gone and in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Friday's child is full of soul w/ nothing left to lose there's everything to go
And I know what they're saying it's a terrible beauty we made and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
And I know what they're saying as our hearts go to our graves and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades"
Through The Barricades Spandau Ballet

This was it,my final track workout b4 Boston and Indoor Nationals since Friday is a race,and since Friday is a race tonite had to be a 3x1,000m not my usual 5x1,000m
Yowzer!I couldn't believe how nice it was out there this evening,if I'd know it was going to be this nice I'd have busted out the tshirt and shorts and shades,note to self,put them in my bag for Thursday's easy 4 miler as it's going to be 65 degrees again....not sure if the world is ready for my pale self but brace yourself cos it's coming....you have been warned!!

After my mile warm I was able to do my core strength stretches for the first time in weeks,it's hard to do them when the track is wet,covered in snow or rock salt,one plus of the weekend of rain,the snow and the rock salt are gone,here's to months of core strength stretches.
#1 1,000m 68-1.14-38-3.00.96.As usual,I didn't plan to go out that hard,clearly 3x1,000m is a one off,post Indoor Nationals it'll be back to 5x1,000m so why not go out hard and hang on for dear life,after all wasn't the point of upping my mileage to see how fast I could run?
#2 1,000m 1.13-1.13-35-3.01.01.Wow!going out hard in 3.00.96. was one thing,coming back off of 2 and a 1/2 minutes recovery and going 3.01.01. is pretty swift if I say so myself.
#3 1,000m 1.15-1.19-35-3.09.81.Not surprisingly slower than my opening two but I hung in there....let's be honest 3.09.81. doesn't exactly suck!!!

Mile cool down b4 being able to stretch out my achilles,another thing I haven't been able to since December,it's hard to sit and stretch in the freezing cold,there were nites in January when I'd get done at 5.50pm w/ Franklin Field closing at 6pm so...
It's spring,it's t shirt and shorts weather,I can do both sets of stretches b4 and after my repeats and tomorrow is St Paddy's Day.....life is good!
