More fun at the track...

Had a great crowd today for speedwork! Must have been about 18 there today. Mostly the usuals but a couple of young high school track kids were there gearing up for next Wednesday.. Funny how they can prepare a week out and be ready to go.. Kim, Pam, Lisa and Tracey were there too.

Eric took over responsibilities today as Bill is in Vegas and he definitely worked us hard. In prep for the sizzling mile next week he had us run a 400, recovery jog for 200, run 200, then recovery jog 100, then repeat that whole sequence 6 times.. No walking, just jog the shorter distances for recovery.

Another note to self about remembering to charge the Garmin so I don't have any times but I can tell you it was slow.. 17 miles Saturday, weights yesterday, 90+ outside... I didn't have too much energy left today. I was all out!

I managed 3 of the 6 repeats. So that is it for speedwork until next Wednesday.. I'll have to switch up my running schedule a little next week so I don't run 8 miles next Wednesday morning but that should be alright. Now I have to just decide to continue the weekly tuesday speedwork or not.. Bill says YES.. I'm leaning the other way!! We'll see.......

Oh yeah, Chris from the running center helped me out last night and I couldn't decide on one so I bought Balega's and Wigwam both.. can't wait to try one out Saturday! Got 18 miles to do!
