Legs were trashed from the Monday long run, so today's track workout wasn't much. 1.25 mile warm up, 4 x 400m with 200m RBI, then 2 x 800m with 400m RBI, 1.25 mile cool down. Didn't time the intervals since I knew they'd be horrible. Probably running close to 6:30 pace for the fast parts, it was all I could muster today.
Pretty sure the Incline tonight isn't going to be pretty. Might have to conveniently forget the watch.
This article suggests Ryan Hall might take a stab at the R2R2R someday. I bet he skips the Tecate at Phantom Ranch. Pussy.

he can turn creek water into Tecate.
Speaking of Ryan Hall, last year he posted a blog entry about training. One of the things he said was to let the training come to you--don't redline it on bad days and, by the same token, go with it when you're feeling good. If you're having a bad day, go easy and save it for when you're 100% again. From my standpoint, I've often fallen into the trap of forcing myself to hold a pace even if I'm feeling like crap. Maybe not a good approach?

I agree with that on training, but I'd sure like to see Hall throw down a bit more during races, instead of his "run my own race" thing he does. About as disappointing of a 2:04 marathoner as you can get, so far in his career.
When are you coming down for the Incline?
Sleeping in was awesome this morning. FYI
See you in two weeks.
