We were in Oceanside, CA last week and it was harder to get out and run than I thought. We were all so tired from playing hard at the beach/pool and we also spent a day in Sea World and a day at Legoland. I was never able to get up early to run while everyone was sleeping, so on most days I just sort of missed the running window. But we had a great trip and I am missing the beach already!
On Wednesday, I did intervals during an out-n-back run along the beach path and then through the neighborhood nearby. It was so pretty outside, but a little hot with the sun shining. It was hard to get a good pace through the neighborhoods and on the beach sidewalk with all the walkers, joggers, dogs, bikes, a few hills, etc.
I warmed up for 1.5 miles, then did alternating 400s and 800s w/ 400 recovery, then about a mile cooldown. Not very fast, but at least I stayed consistent. Here were my splits:
400 - 1:43
800 - 3:34
400 - 1:47
800 - 3:37
400 - 1:43
800 - 3:35
400 - 1:45
800 - 3:35
400 - 1:46
