Cursus interruptus

Monday evening, 3.5 miles in 29:33
Some run is better than no run. I've been trying to adopt this as my
motto, and after sleeping in and staying late at work yesterday I
decided to put it to the test. It's hard to do a <4 mile run for a
couple of reasons. The first is that I can't get psyched to get out for
such a short distance; the second is, once I'm out there, it's hard to
cut it short. I tack on a mile, or 2 miles, and end up late for work,
or with a crabby baby, etc. So, I took Silas out knowing that he needed
to be in the bath in about 45 minutes for an uphill-downhill loop in
Berkeley, over to UC. Suffice to say, I resisted my impulse to swing
down to Oakland for a little extra and bath and bedtime went off without
a hitch.

Tuesday morning hills, 4.4 miles in 32:17
12 hours later, we hit the road to Ohlone Park for the weekly hill
repeats. The hills went down in 1:20, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, and the
workout was over by request from Silas. I have no complaints about the
pace, but I can't really compare this week's half workout to last week's
full workout. I really felt like I was pushing it on 2 and 3, so I'm
not sure if I could have held at 1:18 or if I would continue my upward
climb, so to speak. Stay tuned for next week.
