Track and Field Blogs - Scott Bauhs

In a couple of hours I will head off to the airport for the long journey to Edinburgh. I am really excited for my second Team USA appearance and my first trip to Europe. My bags are packed and I've checked at least 8 times to make sure that my passport is in the same place that I left it.
I don't feel any pain at all in my foot anymore and work outs have gone pretty well. Last Thursday I did 8 1/2 miles out in the park with 1 minute recovery in 2:26,2:21,2:25,2:24 (all slightly uphill) 2:20,2:20,2:18,2:17 (slightly downhill), This Saturday I did a speed maintenance workout on the warm up track at Sac state in between my teammates races with 46,62;44,60;44,59 and while my legs didn't feel too sharp it was a nice little session, and yesterday I did 8 by 1k with 2 minutes rest on our 1k repeat course out in the park (it is a long skinny v with about a 170 degree turn at one end) and my times were 3:00,2:57,2:55,2:53,2:56,2:56,2:54,2:55. I don't really know what the workouts in the park translate to on the track. I always do my workouts on dirt in trainers and sometimes I am dodging in and out of dog walkers and Ipod joggers but I am happy with these workouts. I believe that I have progressed nicely since USA cross.
I'm hoping that I can update this blog a few times over the trip if I can sneak off to the "Cyber Cafe" as they call it. If there is anything that anyone is curious about don't be afraid to ask.
