Walked to the park and did some exercises. 

I'm cutting back on my internet usage, and since I am doing well with my winter training, will not be posting here for a while.

Sun was out, a bit chilly (40), but had good energy, decided to do hard 200m, 100m jog, repeated, on the 1000m loop at the Amazon Trail. Did three loops, along the way I saw a group of U of O runners doing repeats, one guy was doing 1000m loops at what seemed to be 4:45-5:00 mile pace. I got in behind him during one of my 200m segments, was awed by his form, his feet so quick - yeah I kept up with him no problem, good thing I slowed down after 200m, because I was ready to collapse :) 

When I finished the 3 loops I did 5 exercise sets. Instead of walking home I wanted to do more running, so ran my usual route on the Rexius and backtracked to Sunshine Grocery.

One of my better workouts this winter.

Got up at dawn and had a good run on the Amazon/Rexius. I've noticed that after doing hard loops at the park the next run is usually high energy and fast.
