Tom and I went out for our speedwork day around 11ish. We warmed up together uphill and into the wind for 2 miles. From there we were each doing mile repeats with a 1/2 mile recovery. My plan was to do 3-4 x mile in the 7:45 - 7:15 range. That kind of scared me and I was hoping I could at least do the 7:45 three times. I probably did the first one too fast but it is the one that felt the best so I am ok with it. I ended up with 7:21, 7:25 and 7:32. I wish I would have been smart like Tom and taken a different route on the last one. The route I took has two little hills that about wiped out my will to keep going. I let the hills almost take me down to a walk but I got'er going again and made it to my destination. My destination was just past my house and I was lucky enough to have my neighbor walking out to his car at that moment and see me in all my misery. On a different note I was able to go up to Heber yesterday to help my daughter in law get some of their new apartment put together. It is amazing how much stuff they have after only 6 months of marriage! It will be nice when they get settled in up there.
