Happy Halloween Dear Bloggers!

Hope everyone has some fun holiday plans? I know my day will be filled w/ elementary school parties, costume parade and singing program, then onto trunk or treat and entirely TOO much candy for everyone! But fun fun!

Track workout today w/ Mik'L and "T" (Tia? sorry can't remember!) They are fast. I tried to mimick their smooth sprinter form, but my body wouldn't cooperate. I warmed up for 1.5 lap around the track, then 6 x 200s.  My first 3- 200s were pretty consistent about 42/43 seconds, but then my body was done.  I think #4 was about 43 also.  Then #5 I tried to push it and almost hurled! #6 was a joke.  Oh well.  At least I'm happy that the first 3 were good.  Usually I have a warm up 200, then a good one, then the rest are slower.  I guess 3-4 consistent ones is improvement.  Afterwards I went over to Heather's neighborhood hoping to meet up w/ her (but couldn't) and ran 1.2 around her neighborhood. Missed Heather today due to a Hannah revolt and Sara due to a yucky cold.  Better luck next time gals!

Happy I got in over 100 miles this month.  Goal for next month- 105.

Happy Halloween to you too, Christi! Ouch--that sounds like a really hard workout. Good job putting it in. Do you have any races scheduled in the next month or so? IIf so, what distance?

Chrisi, awesome workout today, keep up the great work. Those are pretty fast 200s. Keep it up, signs of good things to come.

Congrats on getting in another speed workout!

Thanks guys. Lybi- I'm toying w/ running the Snow Canyon 5k or 1/2 on Nov. 17th. But I also got an offer to possibly go 4-wheeling w/ some couples that weekend- which sounds much more fun that running doesn't it? hee hee... Brent & Adrianne- thanks for supporting me also puking during sprints! Just kidding. Really its fun.. I think...Adrianne- good luck finding Saturday races. That's a tough thing about living outside of Utah. I'd probably run the Sunday race anyway, then break a leg. Best that I don't have that tempation. Come to St. George and run w/ me!

Christi - you should not be doing track workouts at this point. The progression is - base, then base + strides/tempos, then once you are comfortable with that you can add intervals to sharpen your speed. Right now your speed by far exceeds your endurance, you do not need to work on it. But at any stage in your training, unless you are training for 400 meters, a day with three miles total is a wasted day, even if you run some of it fast.
