Speed work

My second speed workout ever- intervals. Warmer today and no ice or snow on the track.

























No Endomondo results today, I used the Timex.  But I still took my phone so I could listen to Pandora while I ran.  It was a fine workout- except for the Navy recruits.  I should have snapped some photos.  There is a nearby Army/Navy/Air Force recruiting center and their favorite place to workout the new recruits is the middle school track where I do my speed work.  And they usually seem to be there at 4:00 when I show up.  It's kind of funny to watch what they do- They run a lap, then stretch and do crunches and pushups.  Then they run a lap and do pushups and crunches.  Then they run a lap and...  You get the picture.  Even better- when the Army recruits are running, the fast guys who finish their lap first have to do jumping jacks while they wait for the slow guys to finish.  Take that fast runners!  I think the Army guys' workout is tougher, it makes some of them puke. 
While all of this is going on I'm just running and running and running.  It makes me feel proud that I start running before they start their workout and I'm still running when they leave.  It's still amazing to me that I can run for that long.  Yay for runners!

Run!  Outside!
