Speeding up...

Today was my makeup run from yesterday.  The rain and dark are not my friends during the training season....

I did a 5 mile speed run (since I didn't do the track workout this morning).  Here's what the workout looked like:

1/2 mile warmup
1st mile: 1/4 all out, 3/4 easy
2nd mile: 1/2 all out, 1/2 easy
3rd mile: 3/4 hard, 1/4 easy
4th mile: race pace
1/2 mile cooldown

Unfortunately, I messed up the distances while running so I didn't get the 1/2 mile cooldown at the end.  Regardless, I was able to keep a pace under 9:00 for all of the pushes and my last mile was 8:51!  Now I have a great benchmark to try and beat every time I do this workout (which I plan on doing a lot because I loved it!)
