GTS-^6 You're dead to me

-The home schoolers were there in force. For those who don't know, there is a family of 6 or 7 kids, all home schooled, varying in ages from around 13-14 to 5. They all come to Speedwork and the three oldest sons are all pretty fast. They don't always run all the repeats. They run the first one fast, take a few off, and then save themselves for the last one. However, when their Dad shows up, they give it their all. I was able to catch the third fastest kid on my 2000 repeats, but not the 2 fastest.
- On the 400s, I would get passed near the end by this very thin Asian woman. I got annoyed b/c she's overtake me really close. The last repeat (as you can tell by my time) I really smoked her. She pulled up even after 200m, and then I gunned it and she couldn't keep up. It turns out she is really sweet, and I am portraying her as some bit#$, when she isn't.
- I used my older Brooks GTS-5 and had virtually no pain in my toes. So, either the issue is gone, or it really was the shoes. GTS-6, you're dead to me.


Work has been crazy busy. My boss has been on vacation for 2 weeks, which not only makes me very busy, but creates more work in the long run. When he is on vacation, he sits around and emails Chairmen, volunteering my time for projects, etc. He starts off the email like it's going to be me and him, but by the end, I'm the one left holding the bag.

Next week, I'll be in Boston for a medical conference. A will join me for the weekend, and my in-laws are taking care of N from Fri-Sunday.
