Sunny and near 50º today in Sewanee, light breeze. The track was just as I left it almost 2 weeks ago. The cones on the track were in the same place. Been a while since I did a 200m tempo set and this was my 3rd workout in 5 days, a little ramping up.
Hoka trainers on
2 x 100m strides, stretches, drills
3 x 200m w/ 60 sec rest - 31.63, 31.33, 29.88 (avg 30.9)
150m - 18.93
60m, 40m
I took full rest after the 200s and the 150 felt really strong. I was surprised it was so fast, definitely on pace to run 25 high in the 200. After that I ran some untimed short sprints with some college sprinters. One girl was quite fast, just a step behind me, but she was in spikes, me in Hokas.
I was a bit worried about my weight. 148 when I got up, but 144.7 after workout. It was good that I got 5 workouts in while in FL.
I have an opportunity to race on Jan. 24. It's an all-ages meet at the same place I raced in July, Marietta, GA. It's a 2 hr drive and I won't go if the weather is bad, so I'll make a last minute decision. I doubt I can improve on my July time of 57.49, which ended up as WL in M60 2020. But, it would be good to get on the board. Maybe I could break 58, probably not if real cold.
The weather looks bad for the next 2 days with cold and snow. Sat. very cold (low 30ºs), and Sunday, better. Monday night, more snow, and no decent weather until Wed. Maybe I could go to the indoor track and run short sprints with blocks. I think maybe a turf workout Sat, starts/short sprints on Mon, and track on Wed. Haven't done that for a while. My foot has taken a beating lately, with 3 consecutive workouts on the track (not turf).
