Still not sure what this morning’s workout will be. The first 2015 outdoor track meet is three days away. After this morning’s workout, there will be two full rest days before the meet.
While i’m in great shape for an almost 56 (in 12 days) year old, it’s no where near world-class competition level . This means the meet is a glorified workout.
An exciting way to dip my toes in the water so to speak.

The physical architectural framework for vibrancy has seven major elements. The most important isn’t even physical.
More important than the other six (strength, endurance, core, flexibility, nutrition, rest) is motivation.
Having a purpose bigger than yourself.
Because when you do, years of effort are joyfully (mostly) spent while others quit or do the on-again-off-again yo-yo thing.
Week three of track training starts off with a bang.
The 800 and 400 interval times have dramatically come down.

Only two more workouts before the 2015 season’s first track meet.
Haven’t felt this excited about a track season in a decade.
Feet healthiest in 10 years.
Great cardio base.
Only two weeks of interval training so far. Things are going according to plan. The plan is to move forward to the next threshold only when it feels right. This may mean not being fully prepared for a meet.
And this is ok. Even welcomed.
So two weeks ago i started using intervals to gradually increase the intensity of pace. The intensity of running shorter and faster is the stress it puts on the body.
Going from jogging to running and now to sprinting.
It will take months.
There is a chance that my body may not be ready for the 400 by August 12, 2015.
It doesn’t matter.

Never intended to run a half-marathon yesterday.
But am no longer surprised at logging three miles of warmup before the actual track workout. And three miles of cool down is also no longer a surprise.
Just warming up and cooling down is farther than i ran between 1999 – 2014. Retirement blew things up.
Simply running enough 400-meter intervals, with a 400-meter walk between each can cover six miles, if you do 12 x 400-meters.
Two weeks into track work and the times are coming down. Slow and steady.

Staying motivated is the most challenging part of any dream or goal.
Ran 13.2 miles yesterday.
This included a never before completed workout: 6 x 800 meter intervals.
It was a great confidence booster “doing the never-been-done-before”.
Confidence is motivating.
Do we feed our confidence?
