... maybe 15.5 ;-) AM: (11 or 11.5 miles, 1:32:11). 28:29wu/27:52cd + 6 x 800 w/equal recovery (abbreviated Yasso 800s because of the race this weekend). I was a little worried, because: 1) I am always worried about 800s, 2) I haven't done any workouts for 3 weeks, 3) I am a worrywort (see #1). I get to the track and there is a big group of guys (8-10 of them) and it wasn't clear whether they were finished with their workout, or hadn't yet started (they were standing around). I did one set of 800 + recovery, and then they started their workout. It involved pairs of them doing something - I think 400s or 600s on some staggared start so that as one pair hit the "start line" (they used the curve as a start, which I found odd) on one side another pair hit the "start line" on the other side of the track. But what it really meant was that at each turn as I will hitting the straight there were two guys that used me as a target to catch and pass. I am sure they considered it quite fun ... since all but 3 of them were able to pass me at some point on the track straightaway! But, then they got to stop, and I had to keep going ;-) (oh, and I am a 50 year old woman, he he). Anyway, I guess it was good, because I did work a little harder than I might have, but I did have to keep saying to myself, "this is your workout, don't worry about their workout" ;-) -- I told one of them as I left the track that maybe next time they could help me out a little -- he laughed and said, "yes, we were trying to catch you" ;-) anyway my splits: 3:20, 3:18, 3:17, 3:18, 3:18 3:18 -- I was pretty surprised at the consistency! PM: easy 4. Happy Tuesday bloggers, I have missed you!! |
