4X400

I am not a speedy lass. But I did my 4X400s relatively easily today, under my goal time of 2:27 each. My times were:
2:26 (9:44 pace)
2:23 (9:32 pace)
2:22 (9:28 pace)
2:21 (9:24 pace)

I think I could have pulled off at least one more, but I figured, why mess with success??

(Plus, I ran quarter miles, not 400s, so I am even a bit faster at the 400! [There is a teeny difference (0.25 miles vs 0.2485 miles), which matters when you are slow!])

This also included a 0.75-mile warm-up jog and a short (0.15 mile?) cooldown. (Cooldowns bore me.)

Tomorrow is cross training, and Thursday is another 3-mile tempo with a goal pace of 10:47, for a total time of 32:21.

I signed S. up for her first race - a 0.5-miler the day before my half marathon!

Oh...and I am running the second half of the half....the half with the huge hill. Someone was swearing to me that it wasn't that bad, but I have run it, so she wasn't fooling me. Still, the rest of the course is fairly flat, and I will get to cross the finish line, which will be fun.
