My thoughts exactly! Do I even know how to run faster?! Looks like a solid training week so far!

ACK! I know I'd had read your journal before and thought I'd subscribed to it, but apparently not! Anyway, I'm caught back up now and WOW! You are tearing things up. Congrats on all those AG awards. You are doing fantastic.
I haven't had to do a speed workout yet and I am kind of glad for now but also inspired by yours! Go girl!
Great job on the speed! Girl, you are on fire!
Training Recap: Hello Spring weather, please stay!
![]()
Week three of my training plan and everything is going well so far. I did not miss any runs (WOO HOO!), the weather has been great and I hit most of my paces. My watch was a bit of a rebel, but that’s okay, who needs technology anyway?! Except I kinda do…you know, to tell if I am hitting my paces or not.
So what happened?
2/8: 2 mile warm up at 10:19 pace, four 1 mile repeats with 1:00 recovery (goal of 7:54 per mile) and 1 mile cool down at 10:42 pace. My mile repeats were: 7:45, 7:42, 7:49 and 7:48!!
2/9: 4 recovery miles on the treadmill at a 9:41 pace. I tried Pilates for the first time this day and LOVED all the stretching. Unfortunately it caused me to cut my recovery run short by two miles.
2/10: 6 miles at a 9:29 average pace. I wore a rain jacket for the first time while running and couldn’t figure out why I was getting wet with it on…yeah, that is sweat! LOL. It was like a miniature sauna!
2/11: 8 miles at a 9:09 average pace!
2/12: 6 miles at a ???? pace. My watch died at mile 2.5 and I was running at a 10:05 pace at that time. I have no idea how I finished pace-wise though.
2/13: SPEED DAY!! 2 mile warm up at 10:26 pace follow by six 800m repeats (goal of 3:43 each repeat). My repeats were:
3:43
3:43
3:43
3:45
3:41
3:44

WOO HOO! 4 out of 6 were spot on and the other two were a few seconds off, I will take it! Afterward I had a one mile cool down, but of course I didn’t charge my watch for long enough and it died at .34 miles.
Below is my upcoming schedule. I have got to figure out how I am going to get tomorrow and Friday’s runs done. My work schedule has gone nuts, and it is too dark to run when I get home. I’m hoping to avoid the treadmill and find a way to work in the runs during lunch!
Upcoming Schedule:
Th- 2 mile WU + 5x1 mile @ T (7:54) w/1 min RI + 1 mile CD
F- 6 miles @ EA (10:12)
Sa- 7 miles @ EB (9:31) – blind run!
Su- 8 miles @ Long Run (9:10)
M- 6 miles @ EA
T- 2 mile WU + 4x1200m @ SPEED (7:26) w/.25 RI + 2 mile CD
2/13: SPEED DAY!! 2 mile warm up at 10:26 pace follow by six 800m repeats (goal of 3:43 each repeat). My repeats were:
3:43
3:43
3:43
3:45
3:41
3:44
Incredible week. You're doing so well! That consistency on the 800m repeats is awesome so keep up the great work!
Wow, girl! That's some amazing consistency. Impressive!!
Awesome!!! Glad you liked Pilates! It’s the best! Well, I could live without 100s! Lol
Wow. amazing pace! Great job!
Those intervals are so impressive! Partly because I haven't had them on my training plan so I'm like "whoaaaaaa" and more so because you are a badass.
Those 800m repeats are amazing! Wow!
Sorry to hear your allergies are causing you problems. Hopefully urgent care can get you some relief.
Way to go on getting those workouts completed even when you didn't feel up to it. Especially awesome on those speed workouts.
And, woohoo, for leaving on Friday for Princess Weekend. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Great week! Happy to hear you were able to complete the workout. Keep listening to your body and make the decision you are most comfortable with. You're doing great and cannot wait to hear all about the trip!
It looks like you did just fine with training!
Allergies are the worst!! I hope you can get some antihistamines and maybe nasal spray.
Have a super time at PHM weekend! I was hoping to get in through charity but it didn’t work out! SW DS is just around the river bend!!! Lol
Oh man, allergies are rough. Great job powering through, and I hope you can get some relief.
Have a great time at PHM! Looking forward to reading all about it when you get back!
