Whoops!

Time: 6:00pm
Location: Rogue Equipment, Eastside Track
People: Dee and I, with Mandi and Tim and Bobby's Group and Panthers Group.
Weather: Humid
Workout: 200 meters at your 5k pace, 100 meter recovery, repeat up to 20 times
Comments: I got stuck at work till around 5:45 and since I wasn't going to make the drive in bumper to bumper traffic (that's what happens when there's a drop of water on the ground) I decided to crash Ruth's group.

Dee and I ran to the track, and whew, felt slow and my legs felt heavy. I remembered my 10k 200 meter split, but forgot my 5k. I knew my pace should have been a 7:37, but couldn't manage to do the math. I thought it was 57 seconds, but after arguing with Dee, decided to go with 55 seconds, to be on the safe side. Workout started, and I was too fast. 52 seconds. Next one, 53 seconds. I didn't keep track of all my splits, but I ran probably 15 of them at 52 seconds. I felt like I was slowing down towards the end, but would have enough kick to end up at 52. I have one at 51, and one at 50. All of the others were 52.

Disclaimer: 52 seconds = 6:58 per mile pace, WAY TOO FAST! (But holy crap, that's awesome!)

I get home, look up my paces and WHOOPS! I was running my one mile to two mile pace!! YIkes... but I'm happy that I did 20 of them. I thought for a split second of stopping at 18, but continued on. I'm proud that Dee and I both did 20 repeats. We rocked it.

I'm super excited about IBM 10k. I'm going to try and hit my 10k pace, and if I do I'll have a huge PR. I can't wait!! I need to look my current 10k PR, I bet it's really slow :)

Good job us!!
