Tweening

This weeks workout is back to 1/4 mile intervals.  Since I missed out last week, I'll attempt to talk to individuals to find out who did what, and then recommend the amount of intervals from that.

It seems like the construction process was making some great gains later last week, with obvious signs of paving being done, so I'm hopeful that the main path will be open again soon.  (And may be pleasantly surprised that suddenly, one week, it will be all done, despite seemingly being a mess just a week before.)

I know most of you marvel at how I can come up with an interesting post, week after week...and well, it isn't always easy.  This is one of those weeks where my attempts to have an interesting nugget or two provided by another TRYer did not work out and I am left with nothing but my own whits to get me through.  At such a time, I ask myself, what would the fox say?



You're welcome.  Evidently that is the latest potential craze that you should at least know about and have seen once so that the world around you makes sense.

Reminders:
This Sunday is the Tuff eNuff challenge at Greek Peak.  I am still curious if anyone wants to take part or to volunteer to help out?  We are typically consumers of races, but I encourage everyone to work on the other side of an event from time to time.  It can be eye opening and definitely gives you more sympathy for race volunteers.

Escalade is off in Colorado having an "amazing" time, but I don't have any details on her actual peformance or what "amazing" means to pass along.  For her Facebook friends, she was able to post some photos late Monday afternoon.

I still need your help to make this world more "hawkward".  See last weeks post for details and a link on how to make me happy.  (Thank you to those of have helped out the cause, but there are still many of you that must not have voted.)

Sometimes, when I don't have enough content for a post, I turn to active.com and all the emails they send me and find some interesting stuff from them.  This time around, the theme of food came out on top.  All of these are quick reads:
Some ideas for Easy Post-Workout Snacks That Aid Recovery.
8 Foods That Are Surprisingly Healthy.  (This one was a good one for me.  Made me re-think iceberg lettuce, frozen veggies, and peanuts.)
One that hits close to home, since a "special friend" of mine has Celiac Disease - Should [non-Celiacs] Go Gluten-Free?  It's a good reminder of the benefits and potential pitfalls of choosing to go gluten-free, when you don't medically have to.

And a bonus article that is not food related.  Beginning runners can skip this, but for the intermediate and experienced runners in the group, it's worth a read through this sort of confusing article on running intensity.  My takeaway is that I, and others, need to slow down on some of our runs.  It's very tempting (and typical) to turn a slow paced run into a medium paced run just to get it over with, but that may be sabotaging our overall training performance.
