May 1st, Friday

Today, after two days of rest, my legs were as light as air. I started out with the idea of running a full five miles, a good distance day.  But as I ran the first mile, my legs felt so strong that I decided to make it a quicker day. As I approached my favorite grassy running area, I was pleased to note that the grass had finally been cut. I began running 120mto 130m pickups with increasing intensity as I went along. After a full warm up I was averaging between 7:00 and 7:30 minutes per mile for each speed segment. Final two segments I doubled up to 240m at a more moderate pace. In all it came to 20 segments.  The trip home was completed at a solid 10 minute pace. This workout rates as demanding and satisfying.
