Total Distance
5.00

1 mile warm-up, 1 mile cool-down, 4x800 fast with 400 slow between 3:31, 3:26, 3:20, 3:29, 7:44 avg. overall I probably should have done 6 800s today, but I left my kids with my Dad and I still had the memory of my baby crying out-of-control last night when I ran, so I just did 4. I felt like the 4 I did I pushed myself on and I took my warm-up and cool-down a little harder than usual too so at least I got worked-out. Were it not for this little place in the middle of nowhere that nobody knows about except my husband, I wouldn't have even done a speed work-out today. I kind of felt like going out for a nondescript 4 mile run and calling it good. But this darn fastrunning site MADE me do the run I knew I should. Three cheers.

Nice interval work. I can totally relate to screaming baby thoughts shortening your workout. I'm glad the blog made you run fast! Didn't I warn you? Its great huh.

nan - a million thank-yous go your way for getting me on here. I read the front page of the blog about how if you don't think you're a fast runner you'll never be a fast runner and I was humbled and signed up. It's nice to feel like somebody is looking over my shoulder. Its kind of like trying to impress Santa Clause who is omnicient enough to know when you're being naughty or nice - you can never slack off with a fast running blog because someone out there might see that you are. Thank you, thank you.
