mile repeats

Crazy afternoon - it rained all day and a tornado & thunderstorm came through the area around 2:30. At this point I was sure track tonight would be cancelled. Then, at around 5:00 I noticed it was dry and sunny! ok, switch gears... track is still on and I have the key so I guess I better show up!

On tap - mile repeats, which translates to: "ouch". I knew it was a tough one when I was the only one of the 4 of us doing it! Andrea & Anna decided to do last weeks workout instead, Sascha was doing some 400s. And since my buddy Julie was not there this week, I was on my own. C'mon people! The workout was w/u, 4x100 striders, then 4 x mile repeats... first all out, 2nd at 5K pace, 3rd at 10K pace & 4th at tempo pace. They were tough and it was extremely humid so I am extra pleased to report that I hit all the right goal times. Yes! Another workout that is definitely helping.
