Awesome weather in Cedar!!! Today's plan was speed, so I didn't run until 11. I started with 6 easy miles, trying to find a track to run around. Practice was taking place at SUU so I jogged to CHS, but as I was lacing up my spikes, a PE class came out and took up the track. So back to SUU and by then the team was gone and I could finally get started. The workout was 5x1000 and my program calculated each at 3:00. I can't remember ever doing 1k repeats and that sounded much too fast, but I gave it a shot anyway.
I jogged 400m between each repeat and when I finished, I was very pleased with how things went. The 3:04 seemed too easy, so I guess my program knew better than I. Last week was my first speed work in ages and I struggled to hit my times, but now I'm wondering if it was the humidity that got me last week. It felt effortless to come through the 800 mark at 2:25. I guess I'd much rather run @ 6000ft and dry air? Anyway, 2 easy miles to cool down, plus 1 mile barefoot on the grass. Body is feeling pretty good.
