Ran with Kim in the chilly am hour of 6.  Wore gloves, sweatshirt, headband.  Then put the sweatshirt around my waist after our warm up of about 3 miles.  Ran 1 minute on two minutes off at a comfortable not all out pace.  However it got pretty tiring and since we didn't know our pace until the end  I realize a few were too fast.  We were more trying for VO2 but I got more.  Kim could have run faster and she was already a head by two to four seconds each one.  Two speed works in two days but  I feel less tired today than after yesterday's workout.  It was hard running in the dark and not having depth perception completely there.  I think that is why  I ran faster at times yesterday.  I don't even feel tired at all today.  I feel like running another 4 miles.  Paces for minutes on (the slow ones were some significant starts on a hill)--5:58, 6:04, 6:11, 6:12, 6:28, 6:25, 6:44, 7:03, 6:18, 6:23, 6:49, 6:43.  Two minute off averages were between 7:30 and 8:00 a couple just over 8 when a car got in the way.  Cooldown.    Total miles= 9.2.  Would have ran to get 10 total but daughter's needs to be up for school.

AWESOME speed works two days in a row! NICE to see you're getting back to your former speedy runner self! Good sign that you're not tired and wanted more!

Nice speed Julie! Things are definitely looking up. Are you what I may very well be--"winter runner, spring peaker" to quote you? I think you are dead on!

You are CrAzY fast and you do not even know it! Your "off" paces are not even off in my book! NUTS!

you are right about the "off" paces. I was with Kim. She NEVER runs out of energy!! She drinks a lot of diet coke too : D She keeps me feeling young : D. She is such a super fun friend!!

time to think about putting on running gear...child one out the door for school. Brrrrr!! its colder at 8 am without the sun then it was at 6am. Probably go after numero dos y tres get off to school. April-- I am a winter runner too but not "frog in hot water" kind. Like hey it was 90 degrees here three weeks ago and NOW there is still snow on the ground from yesterday's snowfall accumulation of about three to four inches!!! I need a gradual introduction with lots of foilage!!!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 14:26:08 from 71.219.65.246

See, I do not mind winter either, I just need to ease into it a bit! As long as their is now wind, all is well.

Hope the run went well Speedy!
