Against the Wind: Decent Tempo Effort
http://jasonblackwood.blogspot.com/2012/09/decent-tempo-effort.html
Look what they make you give. Wednesday, September 5, 2012. Distance: 7.3 mi. Warmup: 2.3 mi. Workout: 3.9-mile cruise run. Cooldown: 1.1 mi. I didn't work tonight because my car is in the shop, and so I did manage to get in a brief run. I wanted to test the legs again to make sure I could survive Blue Ridge. I'm not really sure what I was hoping to find but I wasn't terribly disappointed with the effort. 7:00, 6:36, 6:51, 6:28 (for 0.9). 6:55 ppm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). One Super Blog Post.

Against the Wind: More Effort
http://jasonblackwood.blogspot.com/2012/05/more-effort.html
Look what they make you give. Thursday, May 10, 2012. Today, I actually did put a little more effort into running a faster pace. I turned things up a notch towards the end of this one to get things moving a little bit. The body falls apart on easy days but comes together a little bit when I push, as is often the case with many of us. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Against the Wind: 2012 Blue Ridge Relay, Part I: Intro and Arrival
http://jasonblackwood.blogspot.com/2012/09/2012-blue-ridge-relay-part-i-intro-and.html
Look what they make you give. Friday, September 7, 2012. 2012 Blue Ridge Relay, Part I: Intro and Arrival. I was asked last year to join team Stache and Dash. I hope I do not offend anyone with these descriptions.). A Blue Ridge veteran and one of the older, wiser members of our team. He also had an incredible mustache. I wish I could have shared a van with Allen as I always enjoy talking sports and joking around with him, but oh well, you can't win them all. Despite my fitness level being a far cry from...

Against the Wind: 2012 Blue Ridge Relay, Part II: Setting the Pace
http://jasonblackwood.blogspot.com/2012/09/2012-blue-ridge-relay-part-ii-setting.html
Look what they make you give. Friday, September 7, 2012. 2012 Blue Ridge Relay, Part II: Setting the Pace. Despite some issues with traffic and some insane driving from Rob, Stache and Dash. Crossed the Virginia border and arrived at Grayson Highlands State Park around 10:45 am This gave us plenty of time to check in and for Allen and Josh to warm up. I slipped on my Stache and Dash singlet as someone handed me a race number that I secured in my "dirt bag.". Was where one van would hand off to the other.
