Inspired by Nan's amazing run at the 20k, I hit the track this morning for some 1000 meter repeats.  My goal was 6-8 at 3:30 with 1 lap recovery.   I warmed up two miles through the neighborhood.  I did 4 200's to get some turn over going.   I ended up doing six repeats at 3:27-3:29.  I was very even.  I started to struggle on number six and had to negative split to hit the time, so I thought it was time to call it good.  Let's see . . . Nan ran an entire 20k at about that pace . . . Yep, still lots of work to do!  I cooled down a mile on the track, and then ran home.

Wow! That is a solid workout!! Consider the fact that you are at altitude and early in your training season, and this means good things for Houston!

BTW, I rarely even trained at that pace, so it was pretty gutsy to think I could race a 20K at that pace. Sea level and stiff competition helps a lot.
