On to last night's mile repeats with Jesse. We hit the canal tow path for the workout and I have to say, my legs were a little heavy from Wednesday's run with Lauretta.
It was one of those days where I had to take one interval at a time and set a new goal for each.
Here's what we did...
1.5 mile warm-up
mile 1: 6:09 with 2:45 rest
mile 2: 6:11 with 2:45 rest
mile 3: 6:09 with 2:30 rest
Apparently, the rest was only supposed to be 2:00, but we got to chatting...oh well...
1/2 mile: 3:01
These splits were an average of 6:08 pace which is ~19:12 5k pace.
Then we did 3 x 30 second bursts, with each getting further in distance as we went along.
1.5 mile cool down
Phew....I was exhausted! When I got home, Fred grilled some marinated pork chops and I threw together a salad and we had a healthy, nutritious dinner.
Ok, off to meet my day. Make it a great Friday!

First time commenter, but daily reader of your blog - it's great by the way, keep it up! Anyway, I can't help but notice that your running advisor had you do a similar workout about a month ago. He should be more creative with the workouts he has you do, although I also couldn't help but notice that you ran considerably faster, like almost 10 seconds/mile faster than a month ago. Pretty impressive! Nice work Tracy, I may try this workout myself.
