Return to Speed Training

Well, tonight I went to speed training after a 4-week hiatus. It was fun, actually. I'm always surprised how much I like speed work. It's hard, but it comes in small bursts that are over fast.

We only did 3 x 1000 m tonight, because most of us are on a taper week leading up to the big 10 mile race on Saturday. Add in the drills, warm-up, and cool down though, and it's almost 5 miles. Plus my 1000 m repeats were at about 5:15, which is WAY under a 9-minute mile pace. Not bad.

Planning on cross training tomorrow, doing an easy 2 miles on Friday, and kicking the race's ass on Saturday. I can't wait.
