Ran on the cinder track last night (Monday) doing intervals at 8:00 pace; 2-4-2-2-4-2-2-4. Final 400 m at 1:48. Goon night!
That workout completed a seven day cycle of good work.
Wednesday- 3 miles on the track of MMF
Thursday- 4 miles on the Jackson Road for the first time in a few months
 Saturday- 3 miles of MMF on the cinders
I am racing a no pressure Big Bang mile on Sunday. It is a Jersey Shore AC event. So I like to do well. That always raises a rest issue. How much time does an 81 year-old guy need to recover in order to run a decent mile? I am still trying to figure that one out. I think this time I’m going to not worry about resting and keep training. There are two other miles that I will be running in the next three weeks. When is the mammoth mile on August 29, the other is the New Jersey senior games on September 6. That one is qualify for the senior nationals which will occur in Iowa sometime next summer. So I do have a chance to run a couple decent miles in the next month. After that, it will be cross country for about three months right now I am pretty happy with my training and the fact that I’m staying healthy. My stats are staying consistent and in good form I’m a lucky guy.
Hell yeah! Though, this rest question is a good one to sit with. Listen to that body.
Body gunna body, we might as well engage in any dialogue we can with it. Love the gratitude sign off. It’s a stellar practice with proven benefits.
Love you and Mommy and Rob and Gracie every day.

Thank you, dear. The body is much more cranky these days. Wish I could still run every day and not be totally devastated. The most recent strategy has been run less and harder. Not sure that outcome is the best but I have been injured less frequently with that plan. Will have to find out in the long run if it results in faster racing. Love you.
