Workout Wednesday

I got it done early today thanks to a new arrangement Sariah and I have made with watching each others kids so the other can workout. 2 mile wu. The goal today was 6x800 @ 3:03 with 1:50 jogging rest. Splits: 2:59, 2:57, 2:59, 2:55, 2:55, 2:56. Pleasantly surprised by this workout. Especially since I did it outside in the cold. 2 mile cool down. Huge improvement from the last time I did 800s.

Riley was giving me grief today because he said I can never nail my fast workouts but nail the tempos. He said you always nail your speed workouts. Glad you didn't make a liar out of him today!;-) Great Job!

Thanks Ben! I struggle with my longer workouts lately. Someday we'll get it right and hit both types of workouts!

Nice run! I gotta catch up on my running blog again. I have been slacking recording lately.
