Bernard Lagat is a stud - new U.S. American indoor 2 mile record holder, now holds 5 American records currently! Also, a Runners World chat with him. Here is a name to keep on your radar - Isaiah Koech, a 17 year old that just ran a stunning 12:53 5K in a meet in Germany! Kim Smith ran 1:07:36 in New Orleans, just ridiculous. And more on the Meb/Boston controversy...
Friday, Feb 11 - 5 miles - 8X600. Got this one in after work - ran up to the track to bust it out, and discovered what used to be the track was basically an ice skating rink. Jogged part of it, decided there was a chance of decent traction with the slightly warmer temperatures. Started rep 1, quickly saw that the other side of the track was as icy as it gets, went through the quarter split at 1:27 while slipping and running flat footed, then called it quits before things got ugly. Ran back over to Village Circle, measured out the distance, had some major Garmin problems before estimating. Long story short, just a mess, felt awful and never got into a rhythm at all. Splits were all over the map - 2:05-2:15, cooldown with Pat and Crystal who joined for moral support and company.
Saturday, Feb 12 - 5 miles - Big River Truffle Shuffle! Went over to St Charles for the Inaugural Big River Running Truffle Shuffle. Long story short, was a complete success and had an amazing turnout! Lots of fun, had a great time and would highly recommend for everyone to do next year. Did not race it, but Tim did great and had a very good race recap on our other site.
Sunday, Feb 13 - 12 miles. Team Sullentrup in full force with a fun group run over in Village Circle. Gorgeous day outside, got above 60 degrees and very sunny! Tim, Mike, Pat and Crystal all participated, so great company. Legs felt like complete garbage, and just motored along and got the mileage in. 8:37 average pace, glad we didn't push it because I don't know how long that would have lasted.
48 miles for the week (ok) - legs feel like poop, and have another aggressive week of workouts so let's see how this goes. Mother Nature is cooperating though, so may not be as bad as advertised...
