Another early morning. I'm getting tired. I want to sleep in, but it IS nice to be ready for the day at 9AM and not just be getting started. A couple days ago Brent suggested that I was ready for 400's at 6:30 for speed work, at first it scared me, but then I got thinking that my Yasso's before SGM were 3:20's which would put me at 6:40 pace. Hmm, okay, this is totally doable. So, for speed work today I thought I'd give 400's @ 6:30 a shot, then do a 400 rest between to make it easy for math on the TM. 2 miles warm-up at 8:27, then 4X400 @ 6:31 with rest intervals 400@ 8:57; the last 2 400's I figured the 6:31's were an okay pace, so I'd go for a little bump at 6:27. RI the same. With 1 mile left I decided to do a pace mile, since my goal race coming up is SG half I wanted to do my goal pace for that race: 7:30. After doing the 6:30 intervals one mile at 7:30 seemed like a walk in the park. Went progressive the last 1/4 to finish at 6:00mm. TT: 47:37 AP: 7:56 Then I went to the pool and did some masters swim class stuff. I again just made up my own routine from past workouts. Mix of pulls, drills, speed and a 10 minute kick. That 10 minute kick was hard! I got a 50 at the end of the workout down to :46 though, so that made me happy! Workin' it out baby. Finally taking baby to the doctor today - it is his 18 month 'well child' check up, yeah are they ever well at these check ups? Murphy prevents that at our house!
