Spring Training - Week 2 - Speedwork anyone?

If I had CLOSELY read my training calendar last night I would have recognized that I was supposed to do my treadmill speed training in the morning, and my 3 mile road run in the afternoon. Do you see where this is going? That being said - the 'short' 3 mile run this morning felt long, but I was actually pretty fast for my 'early in the week run'. But then again, maybe I was just lonely. I ran part of the route that we had run on our RTP Groupie Run this past Sunday, and I was missing my running buddy Flash. However, my faith in humanity was restored! While running down the street in front of BV North High School, a car, driven by a teenager of all things - WAITED ON ME to cross the street - in fact they insisted I cross in front of them. Amazing. There is still hope for our future generations.



Fast forward to late afternoon - and I knew I had to get back to the fitness center and get my 20 minutes of treadmill speedwork done.  I was ready.  Flash had pumped me up and given me encouragement (see, she had already done hers in the morning - when she was supposed to).  I took a long time to get ready, forgot to grab a sweat towel, but survived the run without too much distress.



Tomorrow morning - Killer Spin with Laurie.  I need to take a nap before I go to bed!
