Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Met Michelle at Sasha for a pre-warmup before we joined Sasha and Jeff, Matt meet us on the path. Then we warmed up for a total of 3 miles before we did 6x1600 with a 400 rest. Sasha talked me into letting him drag me behind. I was a little aprehensive at first because I wanted a good workout and I was afraid it would feel awkard and put strain on muscle I wan't use to useing. But it actually felt fine. I felt like I still got a threshold workout and it really didn't fell like I was being pulled it just made it so I couldn't give up or slow down when I wanted to. It was kind of funny I was encouraging Sasha to keep up instead of the other way around like it usually is.

So remeber I am being pulled for these-

1-5:47 (rest 3:52) this feels like I am going about a 6:10-6:15 effort.

2-5:51 (3:23)

3-5:50 (4:46)

4-6:01 (3:38) I think both of us are getting alittle tired.

5-5:45 (3:56) We regroup and both work to stay up.

6-5:53 This one was super tuff but I tell Sasha to go, go, go on the last four hundred and we make up some time.

1:44:57/8:15

Great workout felt good to feel my legs go that fast.

Great workout! I think so long the pulling doesn't injure you it can be a good thing to have your body practice faster turn over. I would think such a work out about every 2 weeks would be a good frequency.

I agree, it was nice to feel what it is like to have that fast of a trun over. So does that mean you are going to come up every two weeks:)?

Good job Josse! THose are some awesome splits! You and Michelle are rockin it right now. I wish I could train with you guys so bad!

I was amazed when I saw you guys doing that this morning. It made me laugh a little because I thought, if it had been me on your end of the rope, I might have been tempted to fly a kite back there while Sasha wasn't looking...In fact, I think bloggers would line up to let Sasha take them "para-sailing." :)

Nice workouts. You're definitely getting stronger! Fall will be a nice racing season for you. Thanks again for the encouragement. I think I'm slowly coming back. Now the trick is just getting the time to get all the bike rides in that I need.

Is the harness named "Push-me-pull-you"? That is one awesome crazy workout! Who ever came up with that idea? SUPER COOL!!
