*4 x 30",30"
--4:53, 5:12, 5:08, 5:06. don't know if it was the fact that my hands were ICE cold and i wanted to be done or if it was the good sleep i got last night or the lack of brutal wind this morning, but today's run and strides felt very good. i'm definitely thankful for the health God has blessed me with, and excited for the rest of the week! first track workout is tomorrow!!
*cool down drills
>>>>personal note: this is my first run in my new shoes... need to keep track of mileage for them so i get an idea for how long they last!

--plan was to hit current 10k race pace for the 800's and current 5k race pace for the 300's. this would mean 3:11 and 65, respectively. focused on staying controlled and relaxed, mostly just on enjoying being back at a track!!
--actual times: 3.10, 64, 3.04, 63, 3.01, 62, 2:59, 60. felt great, definitely could have done more but it's nice doing workouts and leaving them confident and not beat up. really excited for the spring!

*6 x 1' hard uphill at Flagpole Hill

--very poor footing and not a great workout, but definitely still beneficial. noticed a change in my form after the very first repeat. the first one was 6:24 pace, the last one was 5:57 pace... obviously i learned a little during the workout. :) not as fast as it should have been, but a good strength stimulus anyways, i think. the next ones will be better!
