I overslept this morning for my planned EARLY track workout with Stina (Black Keys and Arctic Monkey tonight!!!). I rallied and got my butt to the local track before work to run solo but the legs clearly needed a little more wake up time. The first set was not too promising and I was pretty much resigned to go by effort this morning but I guess my legs just needed to ease in because somehow I managed to hit most of the paces this morning after the first set and I think the workout in it's entirety ended up pretty close. Though clearly an ideal world would be nailing every rep at the right pace, getting faster with each one was pretty fun :)
Goal was:
4 sets of 800m, 600m, 200m
Each set consists of:
800m at (84 secs per lap, 02:48 for 800m), 84 secs recovery,
600m at (81 secs per lap, 02:01 for 600m), 81 secs recovery,
200m at 39, Rest between sets 2 minutes
How it played out:
2:55.69
2:05.30
38.62
2:48.55
2:03.00
37.87
2:46.32
2:00.78
38.22
2:43.68
1:58.35
36.26
Glad to have that done and glad my legs rallied and that I found a little speed this morning!
Cheesy note of the morning I was singing "Right Here Right Now" to myself on these reps, and sadly it really did help to get me focused :)

A Tuesday Workout Post!!!
Week 2 of my get back into it plan with the coach and I am geeked to report that I had a workout!
Goal was 1.5 miles at 6:50, 90 sec rest, 1 mile at 6:45, 2 minutes rest, 1.5 miles at 6:50
I am so out of it on pacing sense that it definitely took some adjusting to get in a groove on these. Instinct incorrectly told me I was too slow so I had to do some micromanaging to slow myself down a few times (my tri buddy DM joined me and he had no problem forcing me to back it off, which was good!) but otherwise felt great into the wind and up some minor rollers. It felt good to pick up the pace and it was conversational so I am excited that this indicates my aerobic fitness hasn't gone anywhere, but I am glad we are easimg the muscles back into any speed or tempos.
Followed the workout up with my whole PT routine and I am feeling super fit today. It's pretty nice, I can't lie!
After that I headed in for my x ray. Fingers crossed for good results in the next few days, though I am not sure a positive or negative result on the bone spur will be positive exactly as that heel just wont let go of that little pin point pain either way! Thankfully it doesn't hurt at all in general, just when getting rolled on a ball or if i step on something sharp...
