Crisp 5am run, 43 degrees. 7+ mile warm up, then 12x400 with/60s recoveries. I really want to have a strong summer of training since my daily runs have felt fine. I now have some quad pain, so let's hope it's my body just getting used to some tougher training.

Hope you're ok. Nice job regardless this morning. Very motivating!

Nice going. That first speed session in awhile always hurts. Don't know about the 2nd speed session, because I never get there.

Way to kick it off, good running today.

From Dan on Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 19:11:52 from 24.209.83.20

Lily, thanks, hope you're okay too :)

Joe, yep, hoping that's it... Hope I get to that 2nd one. Hey you committed to Wichita this fall? Just have a crazy thought... Let ya know later

Flat, thanks, hope to stay the course -body willing.take care of your injury, hope it fades fast!

Thanks for the comment! I like the scripture reference on your shirt on your profile pic - I think I'll use it as a mantra next time I race! What an awesomely hard workout! Way to be!

From Dan on Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 19:36:09 from 24.209.83.20

Emily, thanks, I do think about the verse during those long miles during a marathon. I hope those workouts get bigger, faster and pain free :)

From SlowJoe on Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 19:41:19 from 69.131.141.92

Dan, I'm leaning toward Wichita, maybe 60/40. If you are running it I might lean a little harder...

From JG on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 08:48:10 from 71.57.246.108

Once, just once ... I would like to find the courage to run 12 track repeats! Maybe I will start with them being 200 meters each! :) & definitely not after a 7 mile warmup!

Great workout Dan!

From Hamdog Alum on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 17:48:20 from 71.82.247.163

Nice workout. A good choice for one of your first speed sessions back from injury.

From Dan on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 21:42:12 from 24.209.83.20

Joe, once your recovered, I'm gonna pm you some upcoming marathon thoughts.

JG, truth be told, I was afraid it was going to really hurt!

Erik, thanks, hopefully there is a whole lot more to follow

Nice repeats - getting in 12 400's ain't easy.
