A distant third choice is 31:00, 32:00, 33:00, etc.<BR/><BR/>But never, ever something that ends in 23 seconds during the mid-week runs. I drive myself crazy, so I can only imagine how anyone else around me puts up with it....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-1158186771849516762006-09-13T17:32:00.000-05:002006-09-13T17:32:00.000-05:00Hmm...my last comment didn't show up, so I'll try ...Hmm...my last comment didn't show up, so I'll try again...<BR/><BR/>Great job! Hitting exactly the right pace is never easy, especially when something temporarily distracts you from your workout. Way to get 'er done!<BR/><BR/>Erinelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908217106972341391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-1158184810737458912006-09-13T17:00:00.000-05:002006-09-13T17:00:00.000-05:00Nice workout....just back off of the " 90% all out...Nice workout....just back off of the " 90% all out sprint " to a slightly faster than 5K race pace. ( more later )<BR/><BR/>I have to make a comment about Barbara's comment. When I actually start using my watch in October I have a little quirk to finish all my runs in full minutes. I may finish in 39:23 and log the actual time in my log book but I will have actually continued until I hit 40 even. If it's 40:35 I will continue to 41. I sometimes get strange looks doing laps around a cul-de-sac to run an extra 20 seconds.Bill Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733848409474815015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-1158176779969949242006-09-13T14:46:00.000-05:002006-09-13T14:46:00.000-05:00We need to find you a well-paying 8-5 kinda job so...We need to find you a well-paying 8-5 kinda job so it doesn't interfere with your running.<BR/><BR/>Before I read what you did, I was thinking "I would've just done 8 30x30's, not 10"...so good job! That's how you avoid injury.<BR/><BR/>Someone asked me the other day how I manage to always end my workouts exactly at 30:00 or 40:00, etc. Uh...'cause I stop my watch at that time and then walk the rest the way to the door....LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-1158169014287769362006-09-13T12:36:00.000-05:002006-09-13T12:36:00.000-05:00It's easy to just forget the workout when life get...It's easy to just forget the workout when life gets in the way.
