Day 11

Thursday August 20th. Today was the first time I did any legitimate speed work. I did a five minute warm-up jog, two minutes of running at about 70% effort, three minutes jog. I did three cycles of that upping my fast pace each time. Brutal. I listened to Darkest Hour "Undoing Ruin" which was really helpful in today's workout. It has a lot of ups and downs, fast parts, mid pace parts and slow parts. It kept my interest instead of just grinding me into the ground.

    hey...

    just checked out your blog through Bernie from Cables' article on Decibel.

    I've been training for a half marathon...although my training as been inconsistent to the point of useless...

    Your musical choices are inspired!!!

    I find running to Bold and Judge does it for me...with My War for the final couple of miles!

    Good luck with the training!
