[160] Speedwork begins!

ORN: Today, I ran 6x800 intervals with 2 minute recoveries. With the mile to and from the river, I ran more than I planned -- 6.1 miles in about 56 minutes. I don't have access to a track, so I did timed intervals at 8'00"/mile target pace. Here are the "split" distances for each effort [yeah consistency].
  1. .50
  2. .50
  3. .49
  4. .48
  5. .48
  6. .49
I'm trying something new in the subject line. The number in brackets is the countdown until my next marathon. Obnoxious? Yes, but it's a way of staying focused on the goal.

Tomorrow, I cross train. Wednesday, I'm doing an easy four miles. Then, on Thursday I think I will do a tempo run.

    No, definitely not obnoxious. I think it's a great idea to have the # of days until your next marathon in the title.
    Great speed session.
