AM: (11 miles, 1:43:09). 28:45wu/43:58cd 6 x 800 w/2` recovery @ 5k pace. 3:23, 3:22, 3:19, 3:21, 3:18 3:18 This is probably my least favorite workout, and the only thing I don't like more than this workout is this workout into a strong headwind on the backstretch!!! But, I can't complain, it is much faster than when I did this workout 5 weeks ago (3:22, 3:22, 3:24, 3:23, 3:22, 3:24) and I had a longer recovery then -- 400 meters vs slightly longer than 200 today! Hmmm. I am always amazed to watch progression of pace over a training cycle. I actually was only planning on running 10.5 or so this morning, but there were a group of runners on the track (many of them were in my way during my workout) and one of them talked to me during my cool down. She had to run a mile time trial - so I decided I would run with her and keep her occupied, she was very nice. She probably ran a 12-13 min/mile pace - but it was nice to keep her motivated. She had 7 kids and homeschooled!!! her "break" was this class she was taking. She had lost 100 lbs over the course of this year and the class was part of a training program for personal trainers. PM easy 4.
