Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

I slept in this morning (yes 5:50am is considered sleeping in to me) and decided to dedicate my morning to a real "workout" instead of just running easy miles.  This was my first attempt at speedwork since way before SGM.  I have a 5k coming up on Thanksgiving and decided I need to try a few speed workouts before the race.  I hate 5ks so I have to mentally prepare myself.

1.5 mile warm up 8:34 pace

5x800's at about 3:09, 6:20 pace

800 rest in between at 8:34 pace

2x400's in 90 seconds, 6:00 pace

cooldown 8:34 pace.

Total= 8.5 miles, 65 minutes. As a side note I was on the treadmill at the gym that I swear has an automatic incline.  Maybe it is just in my head but I had it set at .5 for the workout and it felt like it was way more inclined.  I finished as a sweaty beast but it was a good workout.

Great workout Rachelle!

You did 3 miles sub-20. That should be a great indicator that you definitely have the speed for it! Tough workout.

I saw you going all out. Nice job girly!

: D Rachelle, which 5k are you running? I am planning on running one or the 4 miler in Orem depending on the darn heel.

From Rachelle on Fri, Nov 04, 2011 at 11:07:15 from 199.190.170.30

Julie I had no idea there was a 4 miler in Orem. I will have to check it out. Last year I did the Fleet feet 5k in AF but it was incredibly disorganized so I wouldn't mind picking a different race.
