I probably really needed one more day before running a workout, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to run with Allie and Devra. We met at Sugarhouse Park for a workout. I wanted to run 30 x 1 min on/off. None of us were feeling to fresh, so it got shortened to 20 x 1 min on/off. I tried to keep up, but got a little flat on the last 4. That's okay, though. I'm sure I ran a lot faster with these girls than I would have on my own. The uphill/downhill was good strength training, too. Monday's tempo trashed me a bit more than I thought it would. 2 mile warm-up and 2 mile cool down.

thanks for the run. i'm really glad we didn't do 30 :)

running those in SHP is tough. if the uphill is "on", it's hard. if the uphill is "off" you don't get much of a recovery. it was definitely a good strength builder.

i just looked at your workout again from monday -- that was really a great effort and it's understandable that you still had some lingering fatigue today. two good workouts this week and it's only wednesday!

Well, thanks for the butt-kicking today, Allie. I'm not stressed about it. It was a really good workout. Sugarhouse is pretty hard to do fartlek in, but that's why I wanted to run there. I need some more strength running! Running with fast partners always makes you better, too!
