I had speed work planned this morning, so the kids and I did a little warm-up to celebrate the last day of school. We literally laughed our heads off for 45 minutes as we "Pracercised" around the house and yard. Getting ready for the last day of school seemed over rated. My favorite is the Pracercise gallop near the end. "Cut the noose and let loose!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-50GjySwew&feature=youtube_gdata_player After I dropped off the kids at school, I pushed the jogging stroller (yes, there was a kid in it) for a hilly 3 miles. Then to the TM for a little speed work. Since signing up for a couple 5k's, I decided to do a little speed so I 'm not tasting pennies, come race day. Some Pracercise action combine with 5.5 hours of interrupted sleep and two delicious chocolate cupcakes for breakfast, meant that good things were in store! I eased into the speed with a progressive mile... 1 X 1600 @ 7:07. 2(400, 800, 1600) >3 min rest/jog. Each respective split was @ 1:20 (5:20), 2:51 (5:42) and 6:07. I used the pace calculator for 5k training to determine paces. The 800's were much harder than the 400 and 1600 for some reason. Sweated bullets! |
