9 miles - 4 of which were run doing 8 x 800 repeats. Ran a 2 mile warmup, had the 400 meter recoveries in between each 800, and then a little over a mile cooldown back to my house. Headed to the track this morning for my speed workout for the week. 8 x 800s. My goal was to have all of these come in at 3:00 or below. I am stoked that I did that, almost. The last one was 3:02, but this is me pushing the button on my watch and I easily could have been off give or take a couple seconds. I don't want to make excuses, but I do want to note that there were about 80 meters of the track at the south bend that was completely frozen. It was a sheet of ice. So, I had to step on to the turf for part of that bend. I tried not to let this slow me down, but I know I was just a little hesitant as I ran across this section because there was just enough frost on the turf that I could see my footprints. So, with these conditions I feel really good about this workout. It is worth looking at the average paces, distances, and times. Overall, looking at these three, I feel great about this workout.
