Shoot for the Stars

Game Farm Park. Early a.m. Ran my usual 3 loops. This time I was able to park inside the park; the gate was open. My goal today was to start working on some speed. I ran the 3 laps as fast as I could without killing myself and I still felt so out of breath! I was trying to get under 8 min for each mile but didn't quite happen, maybe next time.... It was a tough 3 miles where I gave it my all. I see i have gotten out of shape....felt pretty good about times for first time working on speed though. Nice warm morning. sweating a lot this morning.

Lakeland Hills. 5:30 a.m. Finally met up with the ladies at Lakeland. I got in touch with Mishel and we carpooled together up to Lakeland. I had just gotten out of the loop with running with them and am just getting back into it now. Janet was the only one we met up with. Seemed like everyone else has some type of pain or issue going on and hasn't been meeting as regularly. We had a great work out though; I really sweated out, red face and all. The hills were tough after not doing them for awhile. It was a great run though and the clouds were dark but held out until we were done with the run! We ran the usual route but the longest distance where we turn right.

ARSHS. Early a.m. Speed work out. I hadn't worked out on the track for awhile so I got myself to do the painful speed work outs. I first ran 2 laps slow (1/2 mile) to warm up my muscles before I ran fast. Then I ran one lap (1/4 mile) very fast, was out of breath, but then walked a mile. I did that routine 4 times. What a work out that was! I am going to be sore! I didn't time each time I did the sprint but it looked like it was an average of 1:45 per lap. I know the last lap I did the fastest someone; amazes me I still had anything left in me. Weather was nice; getting warmer. I saw one guy working out near road then drive up in his vehicle-he was younger. I saw 3 cats while driving out.
