Tonight was speedwork night.  Goal is to run 2 miles easy then 10 x 400m @1:27(5:48 pace) with 400m RI.  So I decided to do my run at the HS again.  Since the club house TM doesn't go up to 10.3 and the weather wasn't to hot or windy out there.  Started out pretty good for the most part.  First one came in suprisingly fast.  And tried to slow it down after that and keep a constant push yet not to hard.  After about 4 repeats had some issues with some walkers on the lane 1 and 2.  Yelling to me that joggers were suppose to be in lane 3-8.  I stopped and went back after trying to pass them and such 3 more times.  And explained that walkers were suppose to be in those lanes with the joggers.  Sprinters and runners do the first 2 due to the faster speeds and such.  It all worked out.  And only had to worry about passing 2 more people in the 9th set which slowed me down just a tad.  But all and all I had a awesome workout today and very happy with it.  Felt that besides the first few being fast I started hitting them rather well.  Also the 400 RI I would walk about 100-150m and then jog the rest till I started the next interval.

Mile 1 8:35

WOOHOO! AWESOME JOB, Mark! You nailed those 400s! You're on top of the game now! You're gonna rock at SGM! I just PM MrsFIT on info about Sat. long run if you are interested in joining Scott.

Again, GREAT speedwork tonight!

Oh Scott will be there too??? I will have to see what JohnnyV is up for it too. We were planning on doing a 20 together. But I am sure he wouldn't mind more company too.:)

Isn't it frustrating having to pass people when you are trying to do those sets? Some people just don't understand, I guess.

Great job out there, by the way.

Great job "SPEEDY!"

From Huans32 on Wed, Sep 09, 2009 at 17:10:58 from 67.182.192.209

Teena- Yeah the first one was way fast. Almost has me thinking I could pick it up a notch after SG maybe.:)

Tim- You know it. It was really frustrating. I am glad it was only 400s. And not higher or it would of really thrown off my paces more. I had the whole track to myself for the most part till they showed up and by the time I left. There was like 15+ people out there.

MrsFit- :)
