Lots of snow last night made for a very wet/slushy run, but it was fun anyway.  The plan was 5x1000m repeats on the track, so I started out with an easy 3 miles to warm up.  Just as I was starting my first interval.......I got kicked off by the track team.  Bummer.  I ran over to the high school to see if it was cleared off (it wasn't), so I called it a day and ran home.  I thought about doing hills instead, but I need to get these legs moving, so speed work is postponed until tomorrow.

I took the GRE today. Find out in 15 days how I did, then I can start applying to graduate school. After the test I just wanted to relax, but I talked myself into running anyway. 3 easy miles to start, then speed on the track, followed by 1.5 miles easy. Splits:

Between each repeat I jogged 400m. Usually when I do 800's, I shoot for 2:20 and miss it by a couple seconds, so I was happy they were all under my goal. Probably went a little too hard on the first 800.

5 miles easy to loosen things up on the Wal-Mart loop. Average was 6:49. I stretched for a couple minutes and then started my 3 mile tempo. Ran from Home Depot north to the high school, then through neighborhoods to the college. Splits:

1 mile easy finish things up. I was shooting for splits between 5:15-5:20, so I'm very pleased with todays run. It seems that I've been hitting my times pretty consistently lately, so maybe it's time to recalculate and shoot for bigger goals?

The workout was an 8 mile run, then 2 miles easy. I'm pleased with today's run. I had to run @ 5 in order to be at work at 7. That's probably no big deal to most of you, but that's early for me. I ran to the south of town, then north to the hospital, then back to the house. I had two cops tell me to get off the road! I figure I can run wherever I want @ 5 am when zero cars are on the road, so I was running in the turning lane..... I guess I learned my lesson after the second cop yelled at me.
