Trail run today on the Barton Creek Greenbelt.  It was hot and humid.  However, ti was great to try something a bit different, and I was pleasantly surprised about how my VFF experiment is going!

The VFF experiment continues ;o).  It was cooler, but very humid this morning.  Met up with Mark for 7 miles (which involved a wamr up and cool down for me).  It was a very relaxed pace as we're both gettingover marathons.  However, we got to catch-up and exchange race day stories!

Warm up then 4 x 800 meters (had planned to do 8, but legs said no ;o), followed by a cool down.  Yes, I did this one in VFFs by popular demand!!!

Made it down for a run with the Gazelles today.  It was longest run to date in the VFFs.  One of my toes is a little sore so may have to skip the VFFs for a couple of days ;o(.

My foot hurt a little from yesterday so I had to ditch the VFFs foe the day....I feel a little ashamed ;o).  Easy run on mixed road and trail.

It was hot (90+ degrees) when I headed out for this run.  I'd been lazy all week so I needed to get something solid (if unspectacular) on the books, and I was able to do just that.  Warm up then 4 x 800 meters (3:15, 3:09, 3:03, 3:06), with 2 minutes rest between each one.  I wanted to do 8 x 800s, but didn't have the mental energy to keep going that long.  As such I decided to add 1 x 1600 meters so that I'd at least reach 75% of my original goal.  I was pleasantly surprised to run 6:05 for that last mile before a cool down back to the house.
