day twenty-eight

today was my twenty-eighth straight day running, and it was a good one. my streak won't last another week, as i have a well-deserved day off on patriots' day, after a 16 mile run coming up this sunday.

when i first tried this new training program, i spent the track days at the MIT track, as i couldn't find any tracks that looked open to the public and closer. last night, i found downes field. it's about two miles away, which is a good warmup/cooldown distance, and my knees enjoyed its more rubbery surface, when compared to mit's track. i realized that i've already run past it twice before as it's on the BAA half marathon course.

anyway, today's workout was 4xMile, and i did them all around 6:45 without too much trouble. i'd like to bring that down to 6:30, but it looks like the latter workouts are 6xMile, and that might be tough. either way, next week is back to hills instead.

tonight's game was not quite as fun as sunday nights, but it wasn't the habs blowout that i was a bit worried about. the difference tonight was one lucky bounce, and as we saw in 2004, it's the fourth win that's the important one. i'm still looking forward to seeing game six at the garden saturday!
