Running Progress

I made the decision to actively try to become a faster runner by doing speed work. The first few times I did it, I would just push myself hard for a minute or two and then recover and repeat several times.

Yesterday I actually researched speed work on the internets, and then attempted 6X800's.

I ran the first 400 at 5.5 MPH and the next 400 at 6.0MPH

1st 800 at 6.5
2nd 800 at 6.5
3rd 800 at 6.3
4th 800 at 6.3
5th 800 at 6.3

I had to spit the last 800 up into two 400's because I just couldn't hack it!

so 1st 400 was at 7.0
2nd 400 was at 6.5 for the 2/3 and 8.0 for the last 3rd.

It was super hard and after the first two intervals I really didn't want to keep going but I did!

Next time should be better!

I'm doing a resistance routine right now before school and then maybe a short run when I get home.

Aria just slept for three hours and this was her awesome bedhead.
