I also avoid speed work like crazy as it's... well... work! I am dually impressed that you can go out *after* the kids go to bed- usually at that point in the day, I'm cozying up on the couch with hubby and the remote- LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-48861496343335485992012-10-26T05:44:41.341-07:002012-10-26T05:44:41.341-07:00Nice 400's lady!

Speedwork can be fun, especially when you surprise yourself by going faster than you thought you could... like in this case! I think 400s are easier to swallow since they're so short. 800's are tougher but I think they end up being more useful in real life situations (i.e. races).

Sucking wind with friends makes it way more enjoyable. And it's been nice having an unofficial (and free) coach. Plus, I PR'd my 15k time by over 5 minutes, so I guess when they say you have to run fast to get fast, they're kind of right, Though I'm still miles behind fast, at least I'm a fast tortoise (like one of those cute little box turtles that's surprisingly zippy).Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08989594701535987972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-23972928367504598372012-10-25T14:21:41.641-07:002012-10-25T14:21:41.641-07:00ooh, i think you can go faster if they aren’t hard...ooh, i think you can go faster if they aren’t hard enough. yep.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713437477594582906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-39759641170067141812012-10-25T13:13:18.986-07:002012-10-25T13:13:18.986-07:00Get after it!!

I'm a super terrible mean mother who sends them to bed at 9, with very little excpetion (not even weekends!), and then I try to stay awake and watch whatever TV I can get through, but my 5:30am wake up call usually prevents too much trash watching. Lame.<br /><br />giraffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643989887305414709noreply@blogger.com
