Speedwork! Whoo. I actually don't mind speedwork, at least when it's shorter distances. Once it gets longer, I may change my tune.

Today was 5 x 800 with 4 min recovery in between, and 1 mile warmup and 1 mile cooldown. I found the gates to the high school track are opened, so I got there bright and early and did them. I was shooting for 8:06 pace = 4:03 800's. Splits were: 4:02, 3:54, 3:55, 3:54 & 3:53. Not exactly on target, but next week are 1200 repeats, so that should get me in that range. It's frustrating because it was hard, but I did think I was running a little easier. Oh well. It's nice to have the run done with for the day.

Pushup challenge will be tonight as well.
