GOAL- 800m warm up @ 6.0 (10 min PA). 10x200m @ 12.0 (5 min PA).  800m cool down.

ACTUAL- 800m warm up @ 6.0 (min PA).  6x200m @ 12.0 This was probably a little shy of 200m.  I didn't feel like figuring out the math while I was running.  I started the sprint on every second minute and sprinted for about 35 seconds.  Then took the next minute and a half to catch my breath.  I had to hold on to the bar A LOT.  I've never run that fast on the treadmill before.  My legs are already feeling it.  I tripped the safety cord a couple of times and didn't finish the full 35 seconds on a couple as well.  I'm only counting 100m for those.  I tried cooling down but must have been kind of wobbly and tripped the cord again!  I only did 400 cool down.

Sleep- wha-hoo!  woke up once but got over 8 hours.  I was so tired last night from the weekend that I almost fell asleep in my clothes.

Great job Mary - you are FAST! I don't even think our treadmill goes that fast. I maybe need to try doing some sort of speedwork one of these days. You are awesome. Will you be my virtual running coach?

I hope you decide to come out to St. George for the marathon. It will be so fun!

I thought I was going to fly off the treadmill! I almost put padding around it. hahaha

Becca- this would not be a good workout for marathon training. this is a 5k training workout. I thought I would do shorter distance training this month and work up to marathon training in the summer.
