AM: Diana got me to do a speed workout with her and Melissa. The workout was 4x4x200m with 200m recovery between intervals and 400m recovery between sets. It was hot and sunny. We did 2 miles warmup, drills, striders, then got started. My goal was just to do 2 sets since its my first speed workout in like 6 months or more. I went with diana but in the second lane for the first set hitting 37, 38, 39, 35 then went on my own for 36, 34, 33, 33 then decided i would continue but keep it easy running with diana but in lane 2 for 37, 37, 36, 33 (going moderate the first 100 then sprinting the second 100 on that last one. Then i thought I was gonna call it quits but got bored and did the last 2 of the last set with diana in 35, 33. I think it was good to get out there and feel some paces faster than 6 minute pace which is the fastest ive done in a long long time.
I think im gonna be following Jack Daniels 5k-15k 24week training plan. He doesnt have a half marathon specific plan and his marathon plan is very marathon oriented. So I am on week 5 (first 6 weeks are buildup simple mileage) and shouldnt really be doing workouts till week 7 but i should be doing striders most days so Im gonna start that now. The workouts are intense and most weeks have 3 workouts per week but I think it will be good as long as I dont push each workout insanely. Given the heat im gonna have to do the workouts early mornings but hey, whatever it takes. After all, there are no compromises.
PM: active recovery 5.25 slow. Felt tight for the first 2 miles but then loosened up.

goofy sarah...
anyway, Jack Daniels (JD, lol) sounds intense lol.. i'm still doing Jake's thing.. starting this week it's two workouts a week pretty much.. each week will have a "steady run", kind of like longer and slower than tempo, but not easy, and then either a tempo run or fartlek.. at some point here my high school coach will give me what he's come up with.. we'll see what that's like i guess, i dunno..
next week i start working.. i'm gonna try to get some better hours/work from home some (it's practically consulting and just looking stuff up online) so that running/life are easier to fit in..
5k race on June 6th, letya know how it goes.. but day before will be a long run soooo not holding high expectations here

God why do I keep going longer and/or harder than planned? Its even harder to eat right when running like this outside my comfort zone. If i keep like this ill hit 90 for the week. And from experience I know that isnt a good idea at least for multiple weeks in a row.

damnnnnnn!!! you really are putting the miles in. toooo motivated lol. be careful!
yea, wouldn't have minded going slower today but s'ok. the workout will be 8 mile run in which 3 miles are at ~5:45 pace. the other miles won't be anything special, just sort of warm up and cooldown
