Tonight was my last speed workout before Saturday's race in Erie, Pa.
The distances run were shorter but more intense tonight.
I ran six 400-meter sprints each at 6:00/mile pace or 90 seconds each.
I knew this was going to be a fast and tough pace after sprint No. 1. I remember thinking "Wow, I have five more of these".
Anyway, I settled in and got used to the pace, sweating up a storm. After each interval, I did a light jog as recovery for 90 seconds, then back to the sprints.
I'm getting ready to race, it will be nice since it's been more than two months. The 5-miler on New Year's Day was my last one.
Hopefully the weather will be decent on Saturday -- meaning no rain.
