Ran a broken up run.  First ran 3.14 miles.  Warm up first two.  First mile 9:12.  Last mile 7:38, felt easy, yay.  Then took daughter to piano camp.  Ran from there to AF high school track .65miles away (this is all spur of the moment, nothing was planned out, I felt good so wanted to get in a easy track work out).  Ran 4 X 400 with recovery lap in between starting with slow lap.  Took it easy but a little weird running by the cheerleaders on the track (yes they were on the track except the inner lane, with four boys sitting on the grass watching in the inner field, whatever.  At first I thought they were helpers but no, they were salivating.  Of course me going around the track in front of their view distracted them slightly, some 40 year old with a lot of energy).  Splits, not all out just evenly paced, going by feel, not too exhaustion.  Felt good.  Not sure minus the spectators and the pom-poms on the course how much faster/slower  I would be.  1-  1:40   2   1:34  (felt easier than the first)  3-  1:33  4-  1:30   (ran 2:01 to 2:12 recovery laps in between).  Then decided to run 4x 200 with a half lap recovery.  1-  42   2- 40  3-  40   4-  39  (finally under 40).  Ran back to car and got other daughter to piano, drove other daughter home and ran a 1.15 cooldown.  Total mile 9.19.  I like this short version of track workout, I don't feel wasted but gives me an idea of speed pace.

Wow awesome workout, broke apart or not. You just keep getting faster and faster on the intervals--very encouraging and your 200 meter sprints are nothing to scoff at. I bet if you were really warmed up and the blood was flowing you could knock out a 200 close to 30 seconds. I think you are a speedy lady, 40 or no. Our fastest local runner, who went to the olympic trials some years back, is in her late 40's and knocked out a 10-miler in 60 minutes several years ago, as well as won our local 2 mile river run in the low 11's in May. If she shows up at a race we are all toast because the woman is an animal!

I am almost thru this bad week of no sleep. About to go to bed. Don't have internet access at work so catch up/write back after my shifts if I have the energy. As far as speed on the track you are the one to look to. However do I run a 200 in 34 seconds? I think I got to make it really hurt and just want to puke, right? Not to that point yet. Have a good running day : D
