AM: I decided to see if my foot could handle the track and flats. It did okay, though I will need to be nice to it the next couple of days. I haven't been on the track in forever. It felt weird, and it felt like it took half the workout to find my rhythm. I ran a ladder workout. 2k, 1600, 1200, 800, 400 with 400 recovery between. My goal was 90, 88, 86, 84, 82 per lap for each set.

2000 goal: 7:30 actual: 7:24

1600 goal: 5:52 actual: 5:46

1200 goal: 4:18. actual: 4:17

800 goal: 2:48 actual: 2:46

400 goal: 82 actual: 77

I have faster in me, but this will do. Especially after 14 yesterday

8.75 total. Will run more later

Great workout Emily. I know your legs are tired and you still were able to pop out some great times at the track. Oh the track...

I think the track is overrated for marathon training.
