AM - 7.25 miles including 2 miles of warm up and same of cool down and hill resistance training in between.  Was up too late last night watching the Olympics to get up early to drive to Clearwater to run the bridges for hills, so I went to different hill location than Monday which was steeper but only about 150 - 175 yards long.  Spent time doing sets of steep hill running, bounding and sprining drills.  Was very fatigued on the warm up and completely shattered on the cool down back to the house.  Could be some DOMS from Monday's workout.  This hill was not as steep has I had thought it was in my mind's eye, once I got to it.  Nevertheless it was steeper and given the weariness of my legs now, I assume it was sufficient for the intended work I was doing. 

PM- Richie called me just before lunchtime and we met outside the gym for an easy run.  Did the dreaded dump run because there was a storm brewing to the north and east, but to the south it looked relatively clear.  Only one crack of lightning as we left the parking lot and with the exception of a few raindrops we kept dry.  Winds were blowing the stinky landfill odors our direction on the way out.  Got 7.5 miles in at about 7:30 pace with some good chatting along the way.  I had to hit the showers and get back to the office for a meeting, while Richie continued for a couple more.  Anyway, he did a nice workout yesterday with Drew - where Richie did 4 x 1 mile at 5:40 pace off a 90 second rest.  Drew did 3 x 2miles at the same pace and rest.  Those boys are as fit as Bam.

Hey Bret, Tiddles Maloney here. I'd say Drew would wipe the floor with Bam:)

Good session and some handy miles after. I've been reading Bam's training diary and like you, after a hill session, he's wiped out. Suspect that means you worked hard.

I suppose everybody in Florida will switch off there televisions for the mens 100m and 200m and 4x100m (track).
