Fun drive to the gym this morning. Roads weren't plowed and had a nice build up of snow. Glad I had the truck to drive. I put it in 4x4 and slowly made my way in. I didn't go faster than 20mph. Nobody was on the road, so I didn't mind.
Today is Speedy Tuesday! I was feeling a bit tired and sluggish, but knew I had to get some intervals in. Since last week's were 0.25, I decided to switch things up and make today's 0.50. With the intervals being longer, it made it easier to keep track of which one I was running too.
Before the intervals started I ran a 1.5 mile warmup to help get the body ready for the interval work. I did keep the pace real easy since I wanted to unleash my legs during the intervals.
The intervals went well. I did the first set of 2 at 7.7mph, second set at 8.0mph and last set at 8.3mph. I was really starting to feel it during the last set. I still had things in control, but could tell I was going at a fast pace.
Overall, I feel really good about today's workout. I didn't think I was going to make it through all the intervals when I started. I'm glad I pushed through and survived. It helped knowing tomorrow is an off day. I'm able to give my body some rest before getting back at it again on Thursday morning.
