Go away snow

Tear-jerker, Jason Hartmann returns to Boston, Kim Conley at World XC, and Rock n Roll creates a Grand Prix event.

Tuesday, March 19th - 10 miles (1.5 up, 8 x 1K, 1.5 down).  Coach Kyle talked me into doing the workout on Tuesday night, since the weather looked ominous with the heavy winds and cold weather on Wed.  So met him over at Hixon middle school over in Webster.  Nice little track that is next to the Webster Rec Plex, and relatively shaded from the wind since the track was almost in a little valley.  Warmed up through the neighboring neighborhoods, then got to work with the workout.  400 meter jog in between, and Kyle paced me through the first 2 reps.  Goal was 3:40-3:45 for the reps (5:52-6 min/mile pace), and nailed the workout.  Last 2 reps, had to dig a little deep, but made it through.  15 min cooldown afterwards, very pleased with the workout.  Splits were: 3:46, 3:42, 3:44, 3:44, 3:43, 3:42, 3:42, 3:38

Wednesday, March 20th - 5 miles.  Met up with Craig, Crystal, and Megan at the SLU track.  Ran 2 miles warmup with Crystal, then basically ran all around trying to help Craig and Megan through their respective workouts.  Did drills in the infield, then cooled down with Craig.  Very windy and very cold, but very nice to have the company.

Thursday, March 21st - 6 miles.  Ran out and back on the trail towards Home Depot with Jon after work.  Kept the pace nice and easy, and cruised through with no problems.  49:50 overall, I believe, and negative split all the miles.

Workout today, then mileage the rest of the weekend.  Supposedly we are supposed to get 6-10" of snow on Sunday.  Lovely.  Happy Spring to us!
