great 4 Miler (Hacking Higdon) 4.02 mi
Very nice run this morning. It was even a little warm out. I'm working from home today, so I didn't have to head out until 7:30am.

A fun, cool, rainy run before heading out for the day. Thought a lot about the proposal for my next book.

Warm temps, steady rain, rolling thunder, and occasional lightning made this the most fun run of the year.

Yikes. Lots of walking on this after 3 miles in. Too hot/humid? Not enough fuel? Too big of a wimp? All of the above? Well, I am, eager to do it again!

And you will do it again and you will run every step (or most of the steps) next time!

Eager is great! Miles are miles! Fuel is so important and for me the fluids are key. I need a LOT of fluids!

I prefer hot and humid to cold. Can't believe I think that now but it's true!

I prefer runs that are pushed too. I wish I knew how to let go a bit more and take it easy but I don't want to feel slow. And feeling great after is the key to it all!

great Repeats
I'm dipped my toes into 400 meter repeats this morning. Just 5x400 to get a feel for it, and I definitely want to incorporate this into a regular day of training each week.
1. 1:51
2. 1:53
3. 1:4... read more-
Love those repeaters! I've fallen off the speedwork wagon since my last half early this month. Need to get back at it!

Marie, how many repeats should I do for a good workout?
8 months ago • Like

I'm certainly no pro but most of the plans I have say start with 5 and move up to 8-10. Adding one a session. I've become a fan of the 1600s since my last training program incorporated those instead of 400s. I didn't think I'd like going that hard for that long but I do believe that above all that made me faster for my halfs this year. Course those you start at 2 and go up to 5 (tho I've never gotten past 4!). Now I'll have to do more 400s if I want to get my 5k times down too.

Nice to find one you like. I have the best routes around my house. It's always my goal to stay off sidewalks and be in the street without causing problems. I can get up to about 7 without having to go on a sidewalk for more than 10 feet. Love that.

It's funny. That is what I had read since I started running in 07. And they feel softer to me as well, even though the most recent study I came across in RW said there isn't a difference. I've learned that some things that are in my head are just fine staying in there. :)

Nice to get a morning run in that isn't in the dark!

I was working from home five days a week and getting a run in was easy. However since the end of July I have been stuck at the client site. Hopefully I will have those days at home again. Nice run by the way!
