3/3/09

Just a quick speed work note for tonight. Once again I was running solo at the track. And once again I was freezing. I was all bundled up for the cold weather, so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. Fortunately the track was free of snow so I could push harder than last week. Imagine my surprise when my half mile splits were WAY below what I was anticipating: 3:06 / 3:10 / 3:09 / 3:02 with a 2 mile warm-up (not very warm) and a 1.25 mile cool-down (more like a cold-down!). My fingers were numb for most of the run and I didn't start warming up until my third 800. But another 6 miles in 20 degree weather. Come on Spring!
