12 mile run

12 miles on the Nike campus.
Last 6 miles @ 39 minutes.
I feel that these runs are getting easier.
Better aerobic strength will allow me to tap
into my speed at the end of my race.
If I don't have the aerobic strength,
then access to speed is denied.

12 mile run 7:00 am

Today I got up early on a beautiful sunny but icy cold morning and ran 12 miles on the Nike campus. I took the day off from running yesterday because of a busy schedule.

Later in the day, I decided to a hill workout. 5x200m hills at 80-90% effort.
I also did a 2 mile warmup and 1 mile cool down. Total of about 15 miles today.

I also did 100 sit ups and 20 pullups.

Now time for 4 hours of practicing the piano.
