Nice neighborhood walk with the family.

I've been reading about everyone doing speed work and thought I'd give it a whirl. My legs have been continually sore, so I figured a little speed might "wake them up". There is no rhyme or rhythm to the madness of my run, but I'll try to describe it:

1:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/ mile pace
0:30 @ 6.7 mph - 9:00/ mile pace

1:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/ mile pace
0:30 @ 7.0 mph - 8:35/ mile pace

1:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/ mile pace
0:30 @ 7.5 mph - 8:00/mile pace

1:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/ mile pace
0:30 @ 7.5 mph - 8:00/ mile pace

1:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/mile pace
0:30 @ 7.5 mph - 8:00/ mile pace

1:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/mile pace
0:30 @ 7.5 mph - 8:00/ mile pace
0:30 @ 4.0 mph - 15:00/mile pace

I worked up a really good sweat. I'll even go as far as saying.... it was fun!

Switching pace rapidly on a treadmill is a handy knack to have. You'll find it serves you well at the odd times you have to use a treadmill for speed.

I love to do speed workouts! I dread them before-hand but then really enjoy them once I'm in the middle. Then once the workout is over, I feel AWESOME!!

Glad to see you had some fun too = )

How is Pre doing? Are you allowed to take him out in public? Are you coming to the Strider meeting in August? Any chance we'll get to meet the famous Pre in person???
