Decided to try something different for today's lunchtime run. Ran w/ Darin to the local HS track. I ran 5 x 800, with 1/2 lap jog in between. (didn't have time for full Yasso set  of 10..) Felt very relaxed. Good workout!

800m:

3:16, 142 bpm

3:13,  151 bpm

3:23, 150 bpm

3:17, 152 bpm

3:01, 156 bpm (was aiming for sub 3:00, but the wind got to me a little too much :)

AP: 7:29

AHR: 149 bpm

60F, 22% humidity, sunny, 12-20 MPH N wind

Who say's you can't teach an "experienced" dog new tricks ;)

Bet you could run barefoot on the track!

NICE 800s, perfect SW before Boston.

Something tells me you really shouldn't be doing yassos this close to Boston....Duh! Your supposed to be in taper? Are you looking for an unexpected injury to carry along with you at Boston.

Nice that you felt relaxed.

From Teena Marie on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 19:15:43 from 174.52.45.85

Sounds fun ... but I'm with Slick ... BE CAREFUL!!!! :)

Nice run a little speed before Boston is good just not too much!

From MarcE on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 22:28:25 from 206.225.68.162

Thanks for the concerns..speed kills! :)

The track actually felt nice and cushy..it was probably just what I needed! :)
