The need for speed

Loving this new workout schedule. Has me doing speedwork Tues/Thurs--easy day Wed/Sat, and a long run on Sundays. Love the speed sessions--has me focusing on smaller distances at certain paces--just a new way to focus during the workouts.

Example-yesterday:
1/2 mi warm up; easy pace
1 mile; Cruise Interval (10k pace)
1/2 mi recovery; easy pace
1 mile; Cruise Interval (10k pace)
1/2 mi recovery; easy pace
6 x 200 m; Speed Interval (5k pace)
200 m recovery between each speed interval
10 minute walk cool-down

Tonight Cory and I are running Greenlake--an easy 3 miler--probably run/walk.

Also adding a marathon to my calendar for next Summer: http://www.littlemarathon.com/littlemarathon/tunnel/

It starts somewhere in Snoqualmie Pass and ends in North Bend--you run through a 2 mile tunnel--with a pinpoint of light at the end guiding your way.

I think I've roped Joe into it with me! Woot! Woot!
