At The Track

The weather here has been unseasonable warm since yesterday and this morning I awoke to a beautiful 55 degrees! I pulled on my running clothes and drove down to the track. It was VERY windy and in the distance I could see dark clouds looming. I started my warm up and then got into the workout but the wind just kept blowing and soon the clouds had blocked out the sun. It was like a hurricane with blowing winds and spitting rain! I hurried to finish my workout and then drove myself home to a nice warm shower and coffee! (The temperature read 46 degrees when I got back!)

This workout was actually quite good had I not been rushing!

800m warm up, stretch etc.
2x55m high knees
500m, rest 2 minutes
120m, rest 10 minutes
400m, rest 2 minutes
120m, rest 8 minutes
300m, rest 2 minutes
120m, rest 6 minutes
200m, rest 2 minutes
200m, rest until comfortable
then do 800m cool down and stretch

I didn't really get any kind of cool down in - opps

Now its time to curl up on the couch with my book and the tv remote! Happy Sunday!

Nice job pushing into the wind. I hate doing speed workouts in the wind.
