That's tonight's workout in a nutshell. It was a workout designed to help teach you to get on rhythm right away and stay there. It wasn't intended to pancake you, and from what I could tell, it didn't. Sara didn't spit out her gum the whole time!

Think about how that went... you didn't struggle with anything other than running slowly enough to hit your splits! Yeah, that's right... you had to slow down to get to your splits. That's the other thing about this kind of workout... it shows you that you can run that fast if you control yourself. 

C'mon... you all know you could have kept going. Easily. You didn't need all the rest either. In fact, on the last one, most of you tried to hit your assigned numbers by hitting the brakes in the last 100 yards! It was that easy.

The rest of the week is going to get easier. Tomorrow we will run 5 easy miles on the Milwaukee trail. Thursday will be less. Friday less still. That's right. Hard work is done. It's down to rest!

Get fired up... this weekend is going to be GREAT!
