Quality 150s

About 83º and humid at the Sewanee track.  Did a few quality sprints this evening.  

Hoka trainers on 

stretches, 100m, bands, drills

100m - 14.79

Adidas trainers on

150m - 19.53 (6.50, 13.03)

150m - 19.41 (6.23, 13.18)

150m - 19.71 (6.59, 13.12)

Not too bad, was hoping to break 13 in the final 100m.  If I'm going to break 26, I need to run the last 150m in at least 19.2 ish.  I did these rolling in trainers so the first 2 would be close if in spikes.  Wanted to do 4x but my foot was toast after 3.  

A big storm appeared to the north and I was worried about lightning, but it went east.  Never rained a drop, just clouds and wind.

Been getting a little pain on my upper tibia bone where the anchor was attached in my '19 meniscus root repair surgery.  I wonder if there's a weakness in the bone there since that is the same area where some long time staples from an ACL allograft in '91 were removed.   Certainly not serious but just noticeable.  I really have to protect my wellness now that I've purchased an expensive vacation trip for Roya and I to Vancouver and Canadian Nationals in 2 weeks.  

Still thinking about whether I could contribute to a 4x800m WR attempt on Labor Day.   I'd need to run 2:24 at least.  That might be a tall order considering my training, but I have a motivator.   There's one individual on the present record who I would really like to erase and replace.  Maybe should run some 600s.  I haven't run 600s since early season Jan/Feb.  Back then I did run a 1:43 and a 1:45.  I also ran a  2:28 800m in trainers in Feb drizzle.    That would translate to a 2:24 - 25 800m at least.  If I did it, I'd be the slow man on the team, we have to average 2:22.2.  Pete and Roger can run sub 2:20.  David ran 2:20 at Nationals.  

Been eating more lately, was 141 before workout today.
