Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom.  I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed.  I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011.   I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs.   When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time.   After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022.  I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Went to TCU track this morning. I can't recall ever doing a track workout in the morning. It's difficult to convince yourself to start running fast at 5 in the morning.

I didn't really know what time goal I should go for on this since I haven't done a track workout in probably a year. I plugged my PR for a 5k into a training calculator and it said I should do about 3:28 800m repeats and 1:40 400m repeats.

Actually, I just ran by what I "felt" was a good pace for the repeats and it ended up being almost dead on to the training calculator. We rested for 2 minutes between each repeat. Ashley's leg was bothering her so she was slightly behind. I have no idea what Tim was doing but it was ALOT faster than us!

I think I actually could have gone faster or else I could have done several more repeats. It felt easy... probably easier than what it was supposed to feel like. This was the most repeats we had time for because of the drive time and we had to be home by 6:30.

You are on a nice roll now with your running. I never know how fast to go with repeats either, usually I'm all over the place.

Wow, 4:45 I had just bairly gone to bed by then. Looks and sounds like a good workout with your friends. I probably need to go do some track/fast workouts but I've really been working on building my milage.
