AM - Elliptical for 45 minutes. I spent most of the time experimenting with what difficulty and speed resulted in the fastest mileage. My indoor triathlon at work is in two weeks and I can't embarrass myself! I ended up getting a pretty hard workout - moving my legs at 220 strides per minutes gets hard after a while! I should probably do this more often so it won't be so bad when I start doing speed work again.
PM - Warmed up a mile then went to the track to massage out my feet and check up on Jake. Then ran 1.5 miles, got bored and thought - why not try some 200s and see how my feet do? So that's what I did. Jumped in on Jake's MP workout and ran 6x200s w/equal recovery. Then ran an additional 4x200 w/600m recovery (the time it took Jake to catch up to me). So ten 200s at 5:15 pace. Good first mini-workout - it is hard to keep up with Jake! Feet seemed pretty good, we'll see tomorrow if they really handled the speed okay.
