Confidence

I am more confident today that I'll be hitting my 5k goal at the end of the month. Due to circumstance beyond my control, a thunderstorm, I had to run at the Y on the treadmill today. I psyched myself up for it on the ride to the Y and was ready to hit it when I got there. I did 800 meter intervals with 400 meter recoveries x5.

My intervals were:
.5 mile warm up
.5 mile at 6:58 m/mile
.25 recovery
.5 mile at 6:58 m/mile
.25 recovery
.5 mile at 6:58-6:50 m/mile
.25 recovery
.5 mile at 6:58-6:40 m/mile
.25 recovery
.5 mile at 6:40 m/mile
1.1 to finish up.

5.2 miles total in about 43 minutes.

My breathing was good, the lactic acid in my legs was not. However you can run through that pain and I did.

I ran monday also, 5 miles in 47:45 9:33 m/mile, I had dust on my legs from Sunday...
