Mile Repeats

Also, I've recently updated my "about me" page!

Mile repeats are probably my least favorite track workout. I feel as though I should do more than three of them, but then I remember that I'm basically sprinting them (just slightly slower than 5K pace), so three is enough! If they were at 10K or 1/2 marathon pace maybe I could do more!

Wednesdays track workout: 3x1600 w/3 min. rest Goal pace: 6:48

This is the third time that I've run this workout with the track team. I cannot for the life of me find in my running log one of them, but the other I did.

6/16/10 - 6:59, 6:53, 6:57

1/5/10 - 6:41, 6:37, 6:41

I actually felt pretty good for the first two. The last two laps of #3 were pretty tough! It was a quick workout and over fast! Warmed up w/a mile and a half and cooled down with half a mile to make it an even 5 for the day!

The rest of the week:
Monday - 6.1 miles total w/2 tempo miles in 7:21 and 7:01
Tuesday - Easy 7 in 59:23
Wednesday - Track
Thursday - slept in b/c of thunderstorm
Friday - Easy 6 in 51:57
Saturday - 1.5 w/dog and upper body and abs at gym

Tomorrow is my long run ... easy 15 miler!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
