Had a pretty good day at school. Stayed busy, which helps days go by. My boyfriend picked up a shift tonight so I didn't get to see him :'( I went home to find my mother had already ,are me supper. WOW! She is the best ever. I have the most wonderful family ever. I ran before I ate. I knew I needed to be on grass so there is a half mile loop around my old elementary school. It has a few hills and is all grass, but loops stink. However, it's better than no running at all. I did about a mile warm up then did some 800 m tempo pick ups. These were very relaxed. The point was to push push the comfortable pace and get a little turnover in the legs. I ran the uphill way which is slightly over 800 meters then I would go back to about 730 pace for 2:30 and do the loop again. There was no stopping. I ended up doing 5...3:25,3:25,3:25,3:23 and the last one on the track 3:17. I was happy with how relaxed thrse were, plus i was dehydrated. Could have done quite a few more. I cant wait to start track workouts for speed. 800 metere repeats were always my money workout back in the college days. Goal is to get those back this summer. I use to be able to pull out about 7 of them at 2:45 with 90 seconds rest. I do miss my speed :( oh well, base training is keeping me healthy.Then I ran a little over a mile cool down and then did some running in the grass barefoot with some strides. All together, I got in about 7 miles.
I got to hang out with my family the rest of the evening:-) its such a great feeling to have so many supporters.
