Here We Go Again!

This week has been really good! It was a lot less chaotic than I had imagined it being. We had an Athletics Canada development camp in town. Wynn was making it sound like there was going to be 50 people at the track all doing different workouts and there was just going to be complete anarchy. This was not the case at all. There was certainly a big jump in the number of people at the track, but it was actually quite a bit of fun. Most of them jumped into our workouts so the groups were huge. Some people don't like that, but I really enjoy it, so it was fun for me. We had about 9 guys doing a 5x400 workout. It was a really good workout for me, I just tagged onto the lead guys and pretty ran fast but controlled the whole time. I can't fully remember but I think I went 59, 58, 57, 56, 56. My second workout went also went really well, however it was more on my own. Geoff did the same workout, but he's just on a different level than me right now. We did a 1200m cut-down, 15mins of Steady State, and then another 1200m cut-down. I went 71,68,62 and 73, 70, 62.

This week is another REALLY easy down week. I'm running another 5k this weekend at the ASU Sun Angel Invitational. Now that I have my first one out of the way and have a feel for the race I'm looking to go a lot quicker than my 14:41 from last weekend. Sometimes these race prep weeks kind of seem like a complete waste of a week, but I know Wynn knows what he's doing and there is purpose behind it all. All I have is a race prep workout tomorrow. 2x200, then 400, 800, 400 at 5k pace. Other than that it's either OFF or RACE PREP, which can mean whatever I want it to.

The group from Halifax is coming in to town tomorrow. It will be nice to get some fresh faces in town. Spice things up a little.

I have to go educate myself on the shambles of Canadian government and make up my mind who I'm going to vote for.
