Hi, folks! I know the many readers of this blog have benn anxiously awaiting updates from our various authors, so I will chime in. I ran a mile a couple weeks ago, as a last minute thought after work one night. It was a bad idea, as I only managed 5:41, slower than my 5:30 from more than a month ago, and slower than my very first mile attempt in April, when I had done very little training!!! Not sure what happened, but I'll chalk it up to a bad day. I still feel like I'm in good shape, and improving.
Cooler weather hit the northeast, and my training pace dropped suddenly by 10 to 30 seconds per mile. The other day I did 5 miles, nearly all grass/trails, and still averaged about 8:15/mile, feeling great.
The Track and Field World Championships start this weekend, so I'm sure our authors will be posting thoughts and commentaries throughout the championships, so please tune in frequently for updates, posts, and expert commentary!
Mark
