Drought

A Drought is evident as there has been a lack of rain for months. However, the Drought I'm speaking of is in regards to running. First of all, I haven't broken 19 and the year is almost half done! Second, this weekend, there were no races within my normal range other than track and field. Finally, the Miami heat after game 3 in Dallas. First time they lost 3 in a row but at an inopportune time-the finals.

Saturday agenda-train

I learned of a track and field event in miramar last night, which was insufficient time to participate. Therefore, I could only train. Since I cycle weekdays, I chose to roll again. This time, I cut it to a 10k so as not to fatigue prior to the next day. I followed it with 2 sprints to satisfy the run element.

Sunday agenda-race!

The buddy muddy (ATL) caught my eye but is quite distant. I remained 'home' & returned to the NW track & field classic. This year, I only did the 1500 meter racewalk and the 3000 meter run. Somebody jogged to catch me from behind to take the racewalk title from me; I settled for 2nd overall. However, I have no excuses for the 3K; I simply got beat so I settled for 2nd in age group. I didn't feel well after these events so I forfeited the 400 meter dash (would have had to wait nearly 4 hours). No MVP this year but I take my medals & run. This was my speed training for the week.
