Let the good times keep on rolling.
Well last week was a great week for many reasons but running was a definite highlight as I had a great time trial sandwiched in between two other really solid workouts. First and foremost was the time trial. The goal was to run a 1k or 1000m time trial in around 2:20-2:22. I had expected a pace around 1:54 through the first 800m. My good friend and apparently world class rabbit Patrick Russell led me through the first 400m in just over 54 seconds. Many thoughts rushed through my head at this point but none were as loud and clear as the feeling in my legs....AMAZING!!! We continued to glide through 800m almost effortlessly in 1:50.xxx (which was a 7 second pr for PR) and finished the 1k in 2:18.1, which would have been a collegiate record had I run this time in a race. My other two workouts consisted mainly of speed work, which was something I had felt was lacking previous to the beginning of the outdoor season. The workouts went off without a hitch as my stride finally opened up and let it rip! My confidence is at a really good point heading into the Adidas Classic this weekend in New York City!

since some of us are not fortunate enough to be able to watch you run in person, could you give us the details of when and where we might be able to watch the race????
