Hot Laps

Whoa Nelly.  What a hot day.

I ran a track workout with Jake today.  90+ degrees with WIND.  Here is how the track conversations went.  "okay, let's do 8 X 800 today."  "alright, it's a little warm out, how about if we do 6 X 800."   "hey, there is no shame in running 5 X 800 on a hot day like today."   You know, 4.5 X 800 is a good workout!"

That's right.  We ran 4 1/2 800s.  The half an 800 (otherwise known as a 400) was only because the 1:45 pace just wasn't going to cut it.

Mix in the 3 mile warm up, 3 mile cool down, and some 400 recovery jogs...and you've got 9.63 miles.  See Garmin info HERE.

In the last 7 days I have put in over 60 miles.  That is why I get to take tomorrow off.  The chart below shows the last seven days.
