   This is the first time I have ever hit every split on a LT workout. We don't do it on a track, instead we do 2K on the road with a downhill start and an uphill finish. I ran with Jeff and we were very careful to run as easy as necessary on the uphill if we had a big cushion from the down hill. Did not want to be too fast early in the repeats. 30 seconds between each 2K. Did it x 4. I felt strong and in control and wasn't killing m,yself to get it done. I will say the last one was the hardest!!

   Todays workout consisted of 2 mile wu (17:43), 1 mile on the track at or around 10K pace (6:59), 8 miles long run pace (ranged from 8:50-8:30) and then back on the track 2 miles HMGP (7:18, 7:24) and 2 miles 10K pace (7:27, 7:21). Off pace a little on... read more

Off pace a little on the track but the effort was there. I feel that this is my most successful soul Buster type workout to date. I kept trying instead of just having a melt down. 1 mile very slow back to cars (didn't bother counting it as actual mileage). Had breakfast with friends which was great and now it's time for a nap!

   Went great. I am being very disciplined this time around to increase my chance of reaching my end goals. The effort felt right for the pace and this was after the race on Sunday and a hard workout on Tues. I am feeling good about how San Antonio Half will go.

   Kirsten ran 4 miles blahRecovery run – 4 mi

   My legs would barely go. Ran with Silver dog and she certainly didn't find the pace challenging at all!! Need to stretch tonight.

8. Kirsten L. RUN
   Kirsten ran 6.5 miles goodHills and Plyo – 6.5 mi

   250m hill push with 750m recovery x 5. Did a 1 mile wu and .5 mile cd. My legs were sluggish and the hill but felt fine otherwise. Started raining on the last repeat. Plyo was less than inspiring but I know in the big picture it will make me stronger.

   Time a little slower than I would have liked but overall, given that I am not a 10K runner, pretty darn good. I ran with even effort all the way and at mile 5 started a gradual pick up. Able to out kick another woman in the final 100m - now that felt good. Ended up 3rd in my age group.
