new program, new outfit

i know it's silly, but i couldn't help it. i haven't been able to decide on what to wear for the marathon, so i decided to buy new shorts and a new top. That put me back by a whopping $84. WTF? i'm such a sucker. since when does running a race require nearly $200? the LA marathon costs $100, and parking at the expo will be $12 (maybe i'll ride the bus) and the out fit... well, you do the math. anyway, i don't remember races in mexico costing this much. sigh.

that being said, my new outfit looks and feels great! i will have a total of 2 pockets for fuel, and no clngy fabrics or extra baggy material. i'll try everything out tomorrow on a 17km run.

tiba's new program for the week:

today: 3x2000@9:36 (9:21, 9:11, 9:39...) plus 2km total of warm up or down.
tues:17km
wed. 6x800x200@3:52
th. 16km
fri. 10x200x200
sat: 30km.

my 2000s today felt great, although i did them too fast. i thought i would feel terrible, but i have recovered well from saturday. the morning was frustrating, though: i awoke at 6am to get to the track in time to get home in time to get back to school in time for a 10am class. i parked nea campus and fed the meter, only to realize that i had forgotten my running watch! tragic! i had to go home and do the 2000s in my 'hood. and i really wanted to run on the nice, cushy track. shame.

tomorrow should be a nice refreshing 17km. can't wait.
