Albuquerque is close; Decent 1000m today

Training has been going well, almost too well. I've been so injury free this season that I was feeling a bit dead from over-training perhaps, but I've backed off this month and feeling fresher, and ready to compete. It is truly a fabulous feeling to not be injured or aching. I don't feel like 46 right now, so I better enjoy it while it lasts, and take advantage of it and get a good score. Today I ran 2:59.2 for 1000m in a workout, so I was pretty happy with that. My 200 splits were almost perfectly even at just under 36sec, so I think I could run a little faster if I ran the first 400 faster and then hung on. I may have trouble matching that time in the pentathlon in Albuquerque at altitude, but if I go out a little faster and then finish slower I might be able to. It'd be cool to run under 3 in the pent just for looks. So if I plug in 8.8 for the 60 hurdles, which is at least what I would have run in my 15.60 110 race last summer, my PBs in the pentathlon events add up to about 4400(old tables) now, or almost 300 points ahead of last year's WR. Decent wiggle room. I've had good workouts in the LJ, and I'm feeling a bit better about the HJ again after I kinda lost my mojo there for awhile. The last time I did hurdle starts I was really getting into a groove, I could tell my start has improved and I have a lot more momentum to the second hurdle. The shot has been the most frustrating for me because I really have worked on it a lot, and don't feel like it's gotten better, but I'm not lacking in confidence, so I think I'll do alright. The shot doesn't pay a lot of points anyway, so if I don't throw as far as last year it won't matter too much. I also don't think I'll jump as high in the HJ, but again, I should pick up more points in the hurdles and 1000 and LJ than I lose in the Shot and HJ.
Next weekend I'm running the 60mh Masters exhibition that's at the open indoor nationals, so that will be a great dry run for the next week when it counts. David Oliver runs right after we do, so that will be very cool to be warming up with him, if not extremely intimidating. At least I'm not in his race, that would be good for a laugh.
