Last Speedwork Run

Training Day: SpeedWork
Workout: 10 X 800 meters @ 3:45 w/ 400 meters cooldown
Actual Workout: 6 X 800 meters


Today was my last Speedwork!

Hurray!!!

God, I hate Speedwork.

I did 3 miles out of the 5 miles. I am actually very proud of myself even if I didn't do what I was suppose to do, I did what I could do. I can't tell you how happy I am that this part is done. I just have two Tempo Runs before the big day. Those I dislike as well. I can't seem to get pass 3 miles.

I am starting to get psyched for the race. So much so I have even started to look for my next race. I was thinking of doing a 10 K. I know it's strange that I started with such a long distance race and then decided to do a smaller distance race. The thing is I thought I could do my training and work at the same time. Unfortunately, for me my work schedule contains to much hours. At the least I can work for 10 hours a day at the most 16 hours. It gets really hard to wake up early in the morning to do your runs and neglect your much needed sleep.

So I think I will try a shorter distance this time. That way I am not putting in too much mileage. At least I hope so.

Wish me luck,
Kat

Good luck. With your last speed work behind you, bring your fresh legs and sharp mind to the race. Have fun!

Hi, I have just discovered your blog. Good luck with the race. I can understand your feelings about your boyfriend running. My husband has just stopped running with me due to various injuries. I have mixed feelings about it, on the one hand I like 'my' runs but I miss the companionship.
