Burnin' up the track
It was a balmy 81 degrees when Raj and I headed to IWU's track at 6:00 tonight. We did a .5 mile warm-up, and then the fun began. I did 6 x .5 mile repeats, with 2:00 rest in between. Raj stuck with me for the first 4, but then he had to take over coaching duties, yelling out times for me as I did the last 2 by myself. He is still nursing his sore foot. This was an incredible work-out, and I really enjoyed it. I have not had this hard of a work-out for as long as I can remember. My times were as follows: 4:26, 4:16, 4:23, 4:22, 4:20, and 4:18. There is something about the track that really makes me push myself. In fact, I was so wiped out after the last .5, I could only walk one lap for a cool down. Raj and I have decided to try and go once a week to the track, since we both liked it so much.

Wow! That is an incredible workout. Great job. Negative splits the last four - amazing!
These are the workouts to remember and often portend good things to come.
6 x 800 w/ 2:00 rest is NOT an easy workout. In fact, it's almost collegiate level for women.
The bad news is they won't always be this great, so savor it while you can.
Training is a journey of highs and lows, and it's mostly unpredictable. In the end it just comes down to a matter of faith, which is why these great workouts are so rewarding.
