I did a speed workout on the grass today. I ran 3x3 laps with a goal of hitting a 2:10/lap average (about a 5:20/mile equivalent effort if it wasn't on grass). I was pleased with the workout because as a whole it felt easier than I thought it would, and I ended up hitting times a lot quicker than I was expecting. 6:26 for the first repeat (2:14, 2:05, 2:07) 6:17 for the second repeat (2:09, 2:06, 2:02) and finally 6:10 for the third repeat (2:05, 2:04, 2:01). Sasha ran the first and third repeats with me, and I was surprised that he was able to stay with me as easily as he did on the third repeat.
Ok, so this is actually the post that should be on Thursday, but I accidentally wrote it on Wednesday. Whoops. I don't feel like moving it so it will stay here.
