I started my run a little after 10. It was really nice outside, the rain cleared out the inversion which was wonderful. I warmed up 2 miles around 8 min mile pace. I really wanted caramel apples while I was running for some reason, so I told myself that if I hit my 800, I would get myself some. I didn't want to run down to the track because I knew it was snow covered, so I did my repeat from my house. The majority was gradual uphill. I ran an 800 at my 2 mile pace. It felt really good, but I could feel it. I started from my corner to avoid slush, so I kept checking my watch the last stretch. I know I hit it (a 2:51), because I hit .51miles in 2:54! Then I recovered a mile and a half. When I got home, I did 4 200s at rpace with a 200 recovery. They went really well. I forgot how good it feels to do a workout with sprints. It's hard, but short. My times were 1) 38, 2) 36, 3) 38, 4) 35. My form felt really good and so I just went with it. The 38s there was a headwind, but back (35 and 36), there was a downhill and tailwind, so they felt really good. After I did a mile cool down. I was hoping to do 4 more, but I might take it easier for Simplot this week.
