Wow.. today's track workout was anything but ordinary. A couple of us arrived early to find the gate to the track locked.. Terry mentioned that sometimes someone will bring a key but it's not likely. How to get over the fence? Climb it of course!!!! OK, wait a minute... that's a damn tall fence and I'm not that great climbing short ones! No other way in, Terry? "Nope, but I'll help you" 'I'll go over first, then I'll help you over'.. OK first thing that when through my mind is that I'm going to flash this guy because I had kind of loose running shorts on.. not tights. Well, maybe I can do this modestly... Up I went and somehow managed to get one leg over the top. Then I froze... how do I get the other leg up and over? Gregg steadied my foot that was already over on his side (couldn't get a very good toe grip) so I could swing my over leg over. Which I did. Directly overhead of him. So much for modesty! Made it over but somehow ended up with a 2 inch cut by my knee... must have happened going over the top.. Funny thing was when Lisa Wycoff showed up she new exactly where you can slide under the fence... Ummm.. I'm following her on the way out!!
Did a 1200 interval with everyone at 6:09.. woo hoo!!
Next was a 800 interval: 4:04.. :-)
Last was 400 meters: 1:58 Yes!!!!
Bill wanted me to do short 100 meters of 'butt kicking'... with walking of 100 meters in between.. so for 2 full times around the track that's what I did.. felt really weird, like muscles were working that I didn't know existed! He said it would help lengthen my stride.. so would another 3 or 4 inches of height but that's not gonna happen so I'll try this 'butt kicking' thing. Kevin said Joy had them doing those last Tuesday night also... Stopped 1/2 way through to get some pictures of everyone zooming around the track.. Man they're fast..

Felt pretty hot and worn out when we were done but still had energy to snap some pictures of the guys climbing the fence to get out.. Lisa and I opted for going under the fence..
Did a short quick cooldown w/ the entire group then Bill and I headed back over to Monroe and 2nd... total was just over 4 miles today.. right on target w/ the training schedule..
Good tough workout today.. wonder how 7 miles in the morning is going to feel!
