Speed Workout and Back Pain

Today I did 4X100 run and 4X100 walk. The second 100 was fastest - but its still 20!
Tomorrow plan to run 5 miles, try to keep it under an hour but not kill myself. TG has two runs planned - 6.5 and a 7.5. I am going to try to keep up with her.



Soccer match was not that great. The team does not combine well and they do not pass to new comers. I plan not to play with them any more and stick to my Wednesday team and may be find a better team later. I can not play more than once a week anyway if I plan on achieving the time I planned on achieving.

Sleepless in Bethlehem

Just could not get to sleep. Dozed off around 2:00 AM and then up by 4:00. What's up with this? I can almost never get a good night sleep unless I take pills.

5 miler - under 1 hour - on the mountain

Yep - its done. I had trouble going under an hour when I ran the mountain course. The hills slow me down. I got done 59:33 which is 11.9 or so. I have a lot to cut down though in 3 months for the race. If I can cut down 20 minutes then I can be in the top 100 of my age group. If I can not cut down 9:33 second then I will not compete.

Soccer is actually hurting the training - I can not run the day after a full scale soccer. Got to replan.

I am currently working on 6 submissions by November - I am dead. (WWW with TG, KR or WWW my work, AAMAS - ontoplan Jeff/Hector, KDE Journal with pan/george, KR may be with Christine, ISWC onto DLDB with Pan)

Great Soccer --

Rest helps - warm up helps and food helps -- Game was at 6:30 -
Got up late -
Had coffee and cereal, had Gazpacho and a bar before the game -
Played well - I was running fast

Body Glide has taken care of the chafing problem and the blisters problems. We have a real soccer match on Saturday.
