The usual first of the new year back at the gym--- NO TMs available. Waited then waited then decided to run the track. I passed everyone many times except for this one guy doing speed. Whenever he tried to pass me I wouldn't let him. I was having a "Kelli Moment" on the track. Usually I am not that competitive. I didn't even know the guy. I am sure he was thinking he was just going whiz by me but NOPE not gonna happen. Probably bugged him too that I was singing at times the song that was on my iPod. ; D. So....basically while waiting for a mill I ended up running 5 miles. I could have had a mill at several different moments but I wasn't quite done with a mile at the time and I didn't have a watch. Just counting laps. 6.5 laps = 1 mile. Funny how the rec says that lane 2 and 3 are both 6.5 laps for a mile. Lane two 806 feet. Lane 3 814 feet per lap. I ran lane three passing on the outside to lap four which is 6.3 laps per mile. The track felt swift. I passed girls running on the track together over 6 times and they looked to be going about an 8:00- 8:30 pace. So I must have been going about a 7:40 pace for the five miles and faster when the dude was trying to pass me. After the five miles I hopped on the TM for some speed. Original plan was 16 x 400 meters with the same amount of recovery jog but since I already ran 5 miles I cut 4 laps. So I ran 12 x 400s. Ran 1/2 mile warmup at 8:34ish pace then ran 6 x 400 at 6:15 (slightly faster than 5k pace) with recovery jog at 8:34 pace x 6. Then I ran 5 x 400 at 6:11 pace with 8:27 recovery jog until the last one (number 11) when I ran 8:20 recovery jog and ran the final 400 at 6:00 pace. Last 1/4 rest at 8:00 pace then ran the last half mile cool down at about 7:20 to 7:30 AP. Total miles 12. Last 7 AP of 7:20. First five, no idea but probaly 7:40 or faster. Incline 0.5%. Wanting my legs to feel strong straightway rather then too much incline. 50 pushups before showering.

Great workout Julie! That is hilarious that you got competitive on the track. I have the same problem if I get on the indoor track at the Y. I will be trying to do a cooldown but I just can't let people pass me. Silly!
