Distance: 1 mile warm up, 3x800m intervals at 3:00-3:10/800 pace with 400 meter slow jog/walk in between. Got kicked off the track, so I did three sets of stadiums at Wake Forest-Rolesville HS running fast up and easy jog down with one minute rest in between sets. Then 1/2 mile-ish cool down.

Other notes:

Didn't run any more miles this week. I got up too late several days because I stayed up too late. If I go to bed on time I don't have a problem. My hours at work were also bumped up a little this week, so that's more time on my feet so I have been more tired and needing the rest. If I go to bed when I know I should, I do just fine.

In other news, I heard from Jamie Clement this week that I might be able to run the CIty of Oaks marathon for free this year by signing up as a pacer. The only problem is I will need to be a pacer for a time that I KNOW I can run, instead of shooting for a good time. I'm going think about it. If I do a 4 hr pace, then it would be a good training run for the Mt. Mitchell race in Feb.

Weekly Total: 5 + intervals.
