9.3 mile track workout this morning- Alone with just the Pine View High cheerleaders...

3.3 mile warm-up

5x 800 ( one more than last week)

1. 2:28- just trying to get started

400 recovery

2. 2:31- A little slower, it's hard doing them alone. Last week I had Steve around...I just got lazy

400 recovery

3. 2:28

400

4. 2:31- Too slow on the first lap

800 Recovery

5. 2:28- First lap in 1:12 but then didn't finish it as strong. Boo!

Cooled down and ran back home.

Pretty good workout. Not as fast as last week but it was a little harder to do it without someone else pushing me. Plus last night I did my workout a little later, longer, and harder than ideal (day before speed). The good news is that I did a speed workout. If I can make myself get at least something like this in once a week I'll be doing better.

7.2 mile easy run this eveing. I got about 2.5 miles into what was going to be a 9 mile run and got really hungry. I thought I had eaten enough a few hours before the run but I guess not. So I just cut it a little short and came home to eat the world.

Cyde,

good job getting out to do speed work. I should of been there. i just got to bed to late. I have been really lazy about getting up in the morning. Still had good times on those 400 s.

Those are some quick 800s, you kicked my workout's butt!
