So yesterday was the first day of track. Sorta. It was actually the first day after the initial track program training portion. The first portion focused on training for Wildflower. It helped me out a lot in getting faster, my current long distance (10 plus mile runs) pace is around 8 minutes per mile. My short run pace (4-10 miles) is around a 7:40 / mi, and my sprint pace (0-4 miles) is around a 7:20 / mi. These times were unheard of from me even a year ago as I was training for a full marathon. Unfortunately for me the track workouts did not help me at all during the Wildflower. I ran a 1:00:00 10K, which is like a 10 minute mile pace, and I cramped the whole way, I didn't listen to Tom (our track coach) and went out too fast, thus the cramping.
With that all being said, I'm getting ready next week to sign up (pay money) for the next portion of the track work outs, which will get me much more faster and not prepare me for the half marathon I must run for Big Kahuna.
Oh and yesterday we did hill repeats up a dirt trail in Goldne Gate Park (Strawberry Hill I think). There were a bunch of guys chilling near the top who weren't working out, it looked like they were scoping out a spot for the night, to play there guitars and do acid. i was tempted to ask them if that was there plan and if I could join, but then I remembered that Big Kahuna was 4 months away.

Why are you doing this Aaron? Wasn't Wildflower big enough for you? Do WF again a couple of time, that way you don't DIE during the open water swim. Don't leave me with Mario as my only brother. Shit.
