Now that’s more like it. After a dismal workout last week in the heat and humidity, this week’s was fun. It was still a bit warm about 83 degrees and a little less humidity. There was a little bit of a breeze that felt really good. I really can’t complain about the weather for once.
Started with a 1.5 mile warm-up around the neighborhood. My legs were a little tired from lifting on Sunday and I didn’t get enough sleep …

That’s the sound of me on the track last night. We just received our next six week schedule and it’s going to be a tough one. I’m not a fan of running 5k pace, let alone faster, and this schedule is full of it.
The workout didn’t start well, I got to the track a few minutes late and some of the guys taking off for the warm-up, so I went out on my own. Got back to the track …

Tuesdays are almost always track workout nights.
Tonight we were at the University of St. Thomas track. The area around is still under construction and it’s fairly hard to find a way into the track. Normally we do a warmup/cooldown on Summit Ave or along the Mississippi trails, but we were stuck on the track.

Last night was the first summer track session. Since the Fargo Marathon. I had been taking a break from any type of faster workouts and I was really nervous about what was in store. Plus, I was running with a new girl who I know is going to kick my rear sooner than later.
