  1. RUN

    Track workout with NoBoundaries yesterday.
    1.5 miles of warmup, drills (included going over and under hurdles. I had some curse words ...) and cooldown.
    2 x (400, 800, 300).

  2. RUN
    3.5 mi 00:50 14:17 pace

    Way too easy, Mostly walking. I think I should keep the group runs for socializing and pick a weekday for a "long" solo run.

      Or change pace groups to one that makes you work harder?

      The problem is - I like to start of off ... and then pick it up.
      But once I start slow, in the urban roads, I don't feel right about leaving people behind. Which was never an issue on the comet; no one would get lost or there were always people around.
      The ones that go faster, they go at 11:30. While I can do 11:30, hills kick me, and I cannot start off at 11:30.

  13. RUN
    Track Workout 3 mi

    I'm guessing 3 miles - 1 mile warmup. 1 mile drills, 1 timed mile (9:57)
    This track workout was way more intimidating than I'm used to.

      holy toledo that's well over a mile in the water! I just can't comprehend that number. It's like I used to not be able to comprehend what 26.2 miles felt like on the road. It was just too outside my experience and 1 mile in the water is just like that!
