"I didn't miss Mommy one bit. I was being loved on!"First I did a one mile warmup at 2:1. Next I did 5 x 20 second striders. Fast times! Next came the crux of the workout: 8x 600 meters (0.375) in 4:30 (12:00/mile pace) with 600 meters recovery running in 5:15 (14:00/mile pace). As John said, "It's a continuous run with alternating paces. This run will help flush out your legs, as well as help you to pick up the pace in the race following a bad stretch." He was right! Even yesterday I had a minimal bit of soreness in my legs left over from Sunday's 20-miler (go figure). Not anymore!
I do love a good track workout. And it was nice to be able to run such a distance uninterrupted. Life is good!

Nice job, Susan. You have been training so well. Can't wait for your marathon!
Intervals are hard, but they pay off. And your baby, said: Bye mommy, have fun.... !!!!!!!!
Wow, track running - you really are serious about this training stuff. I never ran as a student, so tracks are very foreign to me, and I'd be too intimidated my the faster runners.
