Oh, about that speedwork – I almost forgot

Monday I went to the track and it was very windy, I was very tired and my back was messed up from all the stone work we did in the yard.  But, I did show up and my mile sucked: 8:20, I believe. We did 800s, 400s, 200s and 100s after that and I was still slower than my normal slow.

I fully intend on a repeat timed mile once my back is in better shape. I know full well I can do under 8:00. I just know it.

That’s the post I was waiting for – but what about the gory details? You know, the lactic acid, burning lungs, fading form?

Not bad, but yes, you’ll run much faster. Next time! :)

Use your bicycle next time. You’ll break 8:00 with no trouble.
