Week 6: Day 4 - Back to the track

This week I continued full speed ahead. I'm not just talking about training, but life. Last night was a marathon poker night going pass 1pm. This after a quick 3 miler (7:49/mi). Tuesday after an equally fast 7 miler (7:48/mi) I thought I was in for a relaxing night when Alex asked me to join him for a Mets @ Nats game. The Nats won with a complete game shutout by John Lannan. It was a good time, but truthfully the game was average at best. The only play I can remember is when the Mets right fielder biffed on an easy fly ball with bases loaded and then with an easy force at second nearly blew it as the second baseman couldn't handle the throw.

I passed on Monday's run to meet up with Josh who was visiting from Bean Town. We went to The Counter which has some of the best burgers I've ever had.

Tonight I went to South Lakes H.S. for a track workout. I was scheduled for 5x800 (~3:00) repeats. I tacked on a quick 400 (1:21) , 200 (0:33), 2x100 (0:15) on the end. With warm up and cool down the workout totals:

For lunch today I went to Tropical Smoothie with some of the coworkers. It seemed like a good way to get some calories in before a hard workout while still getting some decent nutrients. I had a buffalo chicken wrap and an orange smoothie. I give this place a nod and will add it to my lunch spots.
