Had an entertaining workout this morning, the one I mentioned in the last post.  Wasn’t sure how I’d feel since my week’s been pretty slow, though yesterday I was out of Recovery and into the low end of Easy again so I figured I’d be ok.  It went fine and right on pace.

Workout was 12.60 total miles with 2x(10×400@10k-5k pace, 1min recoveries) 2:20 between sets.  Averaged 1:39 for the first set of 400s, 1:40 for the 2nd (for the record, actually 1/4 miles, not 400s).

I feel all caught up now and am looking forward to the next few weeks of regular speedwork.  Seems like it’s just been dribs and drabs and Sample Speedwork these past weeks (which is by design) but it’s whet my appetite well, making me excited to get back into more formal speedwork again.

In other news, I came so close to buying a new phone this week because I thought mine had suddenly bit the dust.  It was taking a while to charge and though it always reached “battery full”, it would drain in a day’s time.

Thought it might be the battery so I swapped it with a spare.  Same deal, which led me to think it was the phone itself.  Then I remembered I’d had some problems charging my camera batteries the other day.  Turns out, some of my outlets don’t charge things properly, which I didn’t even know was a possibility.  When I put the charger back in one of the outlets by the outer wall, it charged perfectly!  So if anyone has some info on why this occurs, I’d be interested.  It’s weird.

Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy those long runs.  I’ll be doing my first really long one this cycle, a 22 miler.  It’s scheduled for Sunday but I might just do it tomorrow since the weather looks like a stunner.  Anyway, happy running and happy racing to all you speedsters.
