The Last of the Speed Work… Yeah!!!!!

Tonight was the last of the speed work for this training session. Tonight Hal called for 10x400. And boy do I hate 400’s. They really kick my ass!

So tonight I warmed up for about a half mile at 8:30/m pace and then dove right in to my 400’s. I wussed out and did them on the treadmill. The nice part is I was able to accurately set my pace. Hal called for the 400’s to be run at my 5K pace. Given my recent time I interpreted that as 7:15’s.

So I ran 7:15x4 running inbetween, then walked for about a minute. Ran 7:15x4 and walked and then finished 7:15x2 and walked it out. Very tired and very hard but in the books. I’ve got one more hard run (12 or 13 on Sunday) and then Miami here I come.

My attitude seems better today, but I am ready for the race to be here. I am really ready to head for Florida for a little R&R!
