a comet appears.

last night i warmed up for 15 minutes or so, and did 5 sets of 2min hard, 1min easy in elver park with 20 minutes cool down. i was going to do hill repeats but it was cool, misty, dark...perfect cross country weather so i opted for a twist on the workout. it was hard, so i guess that was good. and within the context of the workout i got plenty of long, soft, grassy turfed-hill running. last 7 days: 51.5 miles.

i'm going to try to start logging the last 7 days on the blog, mostly for myself. it is an interesting statistic and i think a telling one at that. my training is set up in monday through sunday increments, but the constant load i'm putting on the body is the meat and potatoes of the training plan.

the shins just came on my ipod, australia. my favorite shins song:

dare to be one of us, girl! faced with the android's conundrum i felt i like should just cry. but nothing happens every time i take one on the chin. your humor and your code you don't know how long i've been, watching the latern dim, starved of oxygen, just give me you hand and lets jump out this window.

if you haven't heard the song, you should. there is a dichotomy with the lyrics and the 'bubbly' nature of the tune. musically brilliant.

speaking of musically brilliant, t-minus 26 days until 'sky blue sky' comes out from wilco.
