Last week and misc ramblings

Last week ended up being OK, just a little sick still.
Sunday: Nothing. 16 miles on the bike at home.
Monday: Palmer Park. 9 miles
Tuesday: 5.3 miles am, workout pm. 10x400 in around 60 flat. 10th one in about 59.80
Wednesday: Red Rocks. 9 miles.
Thursday: 9 miles around Mvp and Bear Creek east.
Friday: 10 miles in the Garden.
Saturday: 10 or 11 in Palmer Park.
Not a bad week, but more consistency needed with the mileage.
There were some incredible running performances over the weekend including German Fernandez with the 3:55 7:57 double!
I saw some interesting talk about performance enhancing drugs in other posts. The Bigger, Faster, Stronger film is really a great one to watch on the subject. I also really enjoyed reading "Game of Shadows". Too many athletes take the easy way out and forget that hard work, dedication and the motivation t be the best is what got them to where they are. I can't understand why guys making 10+ million dollars a year do this stuff. I have also seen interesting talk about the "weekend warrior" type of individuals that use drugs. I guess from my perspective, if I had to take drugs to enjoy my sport, then I would have no reason to compete. I believe that working hard and achieving a goals the reward. Many of us will never run world class times; however we can all do everything that is within legal and ethical means to get there whatever out goals may be. have a good one!
