Long Slow Distance...

Yes, folks, I appear to be addicted to LSD...

Long Slow Distance running that is. As part of my marathon training I completed a 7 km run this morning, the first of my current half marathon clinic. My average pace was 6:25 which is certainly aligned with my goals of a 2:15 completion of the Prague 1/2 Marathon on March 28, 2009. Today's run was fun - I was near the front of the pack and we did very well. It was a beautiful morning, the sun was out, it was about 4C and life was good.

Did some weight training with Andy and my sons yesterday. Higher weights, few reps. I completed 3 sets of each, five reps of squats with a 185 lb barbell, five reps of bench presses with 135 lb barbell. Other stuff too but the heavy weights are fun once in a while.

Going to cut this short. Will update again in a day or two. Today's song was Out of the Blue by Roxy Music. Be cool.
