Track workout at 5 am with Merri. We both strength trained a lot this last fall and winter, and running had taken a backseat. Considering that, we decided to start out our speed work a little easier. So we did 6x100's. We sprinted the straight away of the track, and recovered on the curves. Then sprint the next straight away. My lungs burned bad. But I was semi-pleased with my leg turnover. Next week we will up it by 2 laps and keep progressing to a 200. I really like doing track work with another runner. It is so much easier and it pushes you. And it was GREAT to run with Merri again! Woo hooo!

Gym afterwards -worked legs and then I did 22 minutes of elliptical. Worked core.

Having someone else on the track always makes it a lot easier and more fun. Good workout!

It was way fun. We are going to get some other people to come in the next few weeks. We live around a ton of runners/tri athletes. I loved it today!

Speed work is hard, but once it is done I feel like a million bucks! Nice work all around today Lily! Say hi to Merri for me :)

That does sound like a lot of fun. Nice job, lily.

I am not a fan of speed work right now. I always feel like I am on the verge of puking the rest of the whole dang day! Nice job getting it done though!
