Hi friends! I was up with the sun this morning to meet up with my track group. It was cold (in the low 30’s) but very clear – the sun was just starting to rise when we met. Perfect running weather, if you ask me!
This morning was the first time in at least a month that I really pushed it on pace at the track. Now that I’m training officially again (more details about what I’m training for in yesterday’s post, if you missed it), I’m ready to kick things back up a notch, and it felt good to really challenge myself! It helps that my track buddies are also back to being speedy again, too – a bunch of them did the Philadelphia Marathon a couple weeks ago and were tapering before then recuperating after for a little while. So now I have people to chase again!
Here’s what the coaches had us do today – a ladder workout:
Warm up jog (I did a half mile – 2 laps)
400m (1 lap)
Rest/jog 1 minute
800m (2 laps)
Rest/jog 1 minute
1200m (3 laps)
Rest/jog 1 minute
1200m (3 laps)
Rest/jog 1 minute
800m (2 laps)
Rest/jog 1 minute
400m (1 lap)
Cool down (I did a half mile again)
Whew!! It was a TOUGH one. I really pushed it on pace the whole time and was averaging between 1:35 and 1:50 minutes per lap. When I finished, my Garmin 225 was quite impressed with me. 
Love how it gives you little awards/records!
