NO ASTERISKS!!!

Training has continued to move forward this past week.  The weather has not been cooperating with us, but we have found a way to get the work done.  The one thing about the NJ-NY Track Club is that we get our workouts done one way or another!

On Monday, we did repeat 1k's, despite the sub 20 degree weather.  It took some time to get into a rhythm, we worked together to get the job done.  As Coach Gags said to us a few months ago, "You don't get an asterisk next to your time for training in bad weather!"  It's been a bit of a joke amongst the team, but it's true.

On Wednesday, I did a four mile tempo, followed by 6x200 on the track.  Those workouts are great for working on strength and speed all in one day.  Friday we did 6x600 at mile pace, which ended up being a really tough workout for us all, but again, we got the job done!

This week will be another tough one as we won't be backing off the training for a few more weeks.  My training log from last week is below.
