day 2, week 2
Today's goal: Speed/sprint workout. 3 miles of intervals at 7:30 min mile pace. Ladder intervals of 400, 800, 1200, 1200, 800, 400 meters (easy 400 meters jog between intervals). Total of 4.5 miles.

Well, my speed training didn't go as well as planned. I was so excited to see where this workout would take me and was looking forward to push, push, pushing myself this morning. Well, between the weather, the beginnings of a head cold/allergies, and possibly not pacing myself well enough, I only completed half of the speed training. Even at 5:40 am, the weather was stifling, humid, and hot. After half of the sequence was complete, there was nothing else left in me. Of course, it was a frustrating, but nonetheless, I am happy that I did something. Not going to beat myself up over one incomplete workout.
After my speed training, I slipped in my P90X dvd - shoulders and arms, & went to town. Thankfully I was inside during this workout! It felt so good working out my arms. Happy about this workout.
