I hit the track workout early this morning. Our, coach has two times set up to hit the track on Tuesday, and she usually attends both. (can you say dedicated, coach) Shane, has some kind of work thing tonight so I showed up with my headlamp and crust still in my eyes. I was talking to Coach K and she kept squinting, it took me a second to realize I was wearing a stadium light on my forehead. LOL!
The schedule called for 1mile w/u, then the meat of it was 3-4 miles at LT, (in swimming it is called the main set. I have no idea what it is called in running so I call it the meaty part) finishing with a 1 mile c/d. I negotiated myself a deal...If I made the run extra meaty and ran 4 at LT, then I could stop off at Starbucks and grab a nonfat calorie loaded concoction. Well, by the title of the post you know I ran 3 at LT, which by the way should mean lil' throw up, not lactate threshold. So, drinking my home brewed Folgers at the moment. Hey, at least I will get free refills :-)
mile 1 w/u (11:42)
mile 2 LT (10:37)
mile 3 LT (10:50)
mile 4 LT (10:35)
mile 5 c/d (13:17)

Good job, Viv!
Maybe if I had made a similar promise to myself this past weekend, I would have gotten some of my LSD done. Eh, there's always this weekend...
Nice job! I make little deals with myself like that too; usually it's "if I get up and do the run before work I can get Starbucks." Often I don't get up early and get it done, but still reward myself with the 'bucks!
Great run- and you probably don't need the sugary expensive stuff anyway. But I totally reward myself like that, too.
very strong times. that was a great workout.
Nice workout Viv. I sometimes make deals with myself too. They always seem to revolve around eating though.
Those are some sweet numbers!!! Nice job!
Great job getting out there for speedword in the dark!
I prefer to reward myself with booze :)
I did this workout last night, but only made 1 mile at LT b/c I had too much coffee BEFORE I ran. Not a good idea by the way....although I'm pretty sure I was running a 5 minute mile back to the house...if you know what I mean...LOL
ROFLMAO HAHAHAHAH AMEN! to that. I like that "lil throw up" I'm gonna have to use that.
Way to kick some ass Viv!
Wow, people still run in November? You're doing 20 times better than I girlfriend!
