Throw Another Log on the Fire
By Dan • Jul 15th, 2008 • Category: Dan's Training Log
My first day back after a week long vacation, I hit the track for the noon track club workout. A huge turn out. I would say over 20. Eric took charge today and handed out our punishment for showing up. 6X400, 6X200 in a ladder fashion with half the distance recovery in between. So 400 run, 200 jog, 200 run, 100 jog, and repeat 6 times. Sounds like fun?
If that wasn’t enough Alex was was trying to sell me fire wood in the middle of summer, as if it wasn’t HOT enough… He did say he was offereing a Hardy Breed discount. (Contact Alex Taft)
Later that eventing the Tuesday Night Training Race (Sprint Night) started off with some bubbling tar and rock chips. The roads were not in their best conditions, and I think it really slowed the sprints down quite a bit. It was either that or people were just plain tired. I was glad, because my legs were tired.
I am headed to Evergreen Lake Triathlon up in Bloomington, IL on Saturday so I will probably take it easy the rest of the week.
I didn’t see your name on the heat-sheets for the Sizzling Mile. What’s up?
I set my PR back in May, I wouldn’t want to break that….
How about trying to beat me then? I’m throwing down the gloves and challenging you to a duel!!!
Don’t make me do it…

My registration is in the mail.
Oh I’m sorry I’ll miss this one! Someone PLEASE capture this moment on film. I’d love to see these two battle on the track!
I’m not doing anything at the moment. I guess I could film it with the Chariots of Fire theme song in the background.
Oh SNAP!
I’m bringing the fast shoes Dan! I’ve been visualizing this race all weekend and I’m ready for you! No twelve year-old boys are going to save you this time!
I may be having second thoughts…. Maybe I will just take pictures tonight…
Nice race tonight Dan. You scared me the first 800 and I could here Kevin and Jason cheering for you the last lap. Are you still going to give me that Hardy Breed shirt or did I forfeit it tonight?
You killed me Aaron! Great Job. You really kicked in that last lap. I still have the t-shirt, email me.
The race doesn’t start until the half mile mark. I got nipped at the line, you can see it happen in the photos. I need to run through the line next time because I think I eased up the last few steps.
Karma.
I’ll e-mail you my address.
Hey, I cheered for you also, Aaron. I have no biases.
I heard you cheering for me Jason. I appreciated it alot but when you cheered for Dan it gave me a hint as to how far back he was.
