After my disappointing 15K race yesterday, there was nothing I wanted to do more today than SPEEDWORK.  Cause I’m hardcore like that.

Back in the saddle!

I used the lap feature on my Garmin to time myself as I tried to do 400-meter sprints (about 0.25 mile).  In total, the Husband and I ran 2.0 miles in 18:53.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Lap 1 (0.23 mile Warm-Up): 12:12 pace
• Lap 2 (0.27 mile Sprint 1): 6:53 pace
• Lap 3 (0.14 mile Cool-Down): 12:42 pace
• Lap 4 (0.21 mile Sprint 2): 7:42 pace
• Lap 5 (370 feet Cool-Down): 10:48 pace
• Lap 6 (0.27 mile Sprint 3): 7:21 pace
• Lap 7 (486 feet Cool-Down): 13:04 pace
• Lap 8 (0.23 mile Sprint 4): 7:52 pace
• Lap 9 (471 feet Cool-Down): 12:57 pace
• Lap 10 (0.12 mile Sprint 5): 7:18 pace
• Lap 11 (275 feet Cool-Down): 14:25 pace
• Lap 12 (0.12 Mile Sprint 6): 7:58
• Lap 13 (0.11 mile Cool-Down): 13:05 pace

It was so hot outside!  After our sprints, the Husband and I timed each other as we did the 40 yard dash.  It took me 9 seconds, but he can do it in 5 seconds.  I was impressed.

Breakfast was Oikos Greek yogurt, granola, flax, and banana:

Pre-run snack was toast with blueberry jam:

Now we’re headed to Costco.  Pray we don’t buy the store.
