Burnt Hills Track Workout

April 25th (Thursday): 6:30am wakeup. Toasted everything bagel with some honey. Work 7:30-3:15pm. Random food for lunch. Bagel (toasted at work, added butter and apple jelly courtesy of work), orange, the rest of the container of yogurt, the remainder of the Nilla Wafers, and a Clif Bar.

Home by 3:30pm to wait for Time Warner Cable to stop by for the setup of cable and internet. The guy stopped in at 3:45ish and set everything up. He handed me a piece of paper with my account number and customer service number. He told me to give them my account number in order to receive my router ID and password. After numerous times being put on hold, resets/refreshes of the router and whatnot, the internet was a success. Only was on the phone for a short amount of time. Not!

 

Way too long.

 

Changed up for a workout and grabbed a couple handfuls of Honey Bunches of Oats. Drove over to Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School for a track workout. Started the workout around 6:15pm. The workout was mile, 2x800, 4x400. Half rest. 2 mile (14:37) warmup around campus. I smelt Chinese food before I started and just ignored it. Some strides. One lap at 74 to target pace and 3 minutes rest to gear up for the real workout. 4:59, 2:26, 2:22, 67, 67, 67, 65. Boom! Smooth and total time of 25:18 (5:37 pace overall). 2+ mile (15:32) cooldown on the roads around the school. Within a 1/4 mile of the school, a Chinese takeout place. Track located directly behind it. A terrible combo. A solid 9 miles on the day (pleased with the workout and with tired legs from Wednesday's 16 mile day).

Stopped off at the gas station and Hannafords for a few things. Bananas (for protein shakes) and cold cuts (ham and muenster cheese). Spiced ham and muenster cheese on a toasted everything bagel. Ranch dressing and chili powder to top it off. I obviously crafted the sandwich in the toaster oven and placed the ham and cheese carefully while the bagel was toasted to ensure heated up ham and schmelted cheese.

Shower eventually and bed by 11pm.

 

 

 Yum.
