Lately I have been doing my Wednesday workouts in the evening but I have a work party at the Hard Rock tonight so I had to run this morning. Poor me.
6:00am. Gorgeous weather. Low 50s...foggy with sunshine above. No wind. Perfect for 8x800m...except for the 6am part.
Ran from the house to the track (4 miles) and rolled right into the workout. Target times were 2:22-2:23 with 400m (2:00) rest intervals.
Intervals went as follows: 2:22, 2:23, 2:22, 2:23, 2:24, 2:24, 2:23, 2:24. So pretty much hit it. I just have no footspeed which was the point of the workout. I don't think my footspeed will improve with age.
Four+ miles home. Beautiful morning.
BTW...I have been complaining about the extraordinary humidity around here the last week or so. Turns out that it wasn't a figment of my imagination. I pretty cool description of how humidity works and why the body hates it so much. Monday was the most humid September day in Seattle history. http://www.komonews.com/weather/blog/103950144.html?blog=y |
