Pre-Twilighter

In an effort to get my legs used to running fast again before the Twilighter on Saturday, I ran hard on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings. I ran with Dan Dunbar on the Wednesday night run for 8 miles--easy for him, hammering for me. We hit 2 miles on the Rock Creek trail on the way out in 6:11 and 6:04 and probably had a good 5 or 5.5 miles at 6:00 to 6:15 pace during the run. I was beat by the end, especially in the weather.

Thursday I wore my Kinvaras and ran from the gym over to Georgetown Prep. I got on the track in the middle of my run and did 4 x 200 (100j), 2 x 150 (250j), 4 x 200 (100j) just to get my legs moving and shake out any fatigue from the day before. I was a bit tired the next morning but I got the desired effect of sharpening my legs a bit.
