Well today was my hap-hazard attempt at trying to do some fartlek training. After seeing Carolyn's run today I thought I would give it a try. So I ran to the 21street pond. 2 mile warm-up then I have heard that it is 1 mile around the pond. I think it's slightly more though. So My feeble brain was trying to add the 25 sec. onto the time as I was running anticipating that I would need to pick-up the pace, and I never seemed to get it right LOL I swear it should not be this hard. I ended up doing 3 laps around the pond. The I turned back and my garmin was at 5.11 miles. So here I dicided to run up the hill at a good pace. I ran up it three times... at the top of the last time my garmin was at 6.00 miles exactly. Then I ran back to my car. Definatly not as planned or organized as it should be... but I felt pretty good with it. :) 7.62 miles - 1:06:44 Laps: 8:55, 8:58, 8:32, 8:37, 8:49, 8:21, 8:59, 8:58
