Week of May 23rd - May 29th, 2005

Monday 5/23
7am- I ran 60 minutes with Barry from the house. We ran to Morris Williams GC and ran one loop and a half and then ran home. The last few minutes I felt some pain in my foot, but it went away. Probably from too much running on the pavement, I need to keep on the soft stuff. In the evening I went to practice with the team and ran 10 minutes after doing drills, followed by 5 hard corner to corner strides on the grass. Barry and I then did hurdles and medballs.
10 miles

Tuesday 5/24
8pm- I ran a 20-minute warmup, followed by 4x1000m with 3 min jog rest. 2:56, 2:56, 2:54, 2:47. The last one I just wanted to open up and see what happened. It felt hard but good. I then cooled down on the grass for 20 minutes. Granny died today; need to go to Ireland this weekend.
9 miles

11am- I was able to get 30 minutes in before packing and quickly catching a flight to Toronto and then to Dublin overnight.
