Monday I did hill sprints up Galveston hill. These were 10 second all out efforts. I did six repeats with a full recovery between each one. Unlike last week, this week's workout did not leave me wiped out for the rest of the week. Just a little fatigue on Tuesday. Tuesday I did an easy 4 mile run from downtown to about 25th and Boston. The purpose of this run was to scope out the hills so I could find a good place for us to do hill repeats of a minute or so duration. I think I found the place!
Today I did my second key workout. Intervals on the Jenks track. The plan was to do a mix of 400m, 800m, and 1200m with recoveries between each interval of up to a minute per 400m. My planned pace was 1:40 per 400m. Here is what I actually did:
400m 1:31, recovery 0:40
800m 3:18, recovery 1:40
1200m 5:02, recovery 2:55
1200m 5:00, recovery 2:55
800m 3:16, recovery 1:50
400m 1:28
I was pretty pleased with tonight's workout. The next couple of days will be easy runs, and then on Saturday is the Hope Rains 5k. I signed up a couple of weeks ago at Tulsa Runner. I was the second person to sign up. I should get a silver medal. :)

I want to do Hope Rains. I "hope" the "rains" doesn't make it too muddy.
