expending more energy than I needed to

Thurs, 4/4/13--

Near repeat of Tuesday's workout.

Westtown School's track for at 5:40 AM or so.
Mile warm up and dynamic and static stretching.  A bit tighter than I have been.  Felt uncomfortable. Careful now!
9 100s (not 6 like on Tues) to get some speed work in.  2:15/100m walk back between runs.

Figured I'd run in lane 4... reflect goal of 14 seconds, lane for 13 seconds, and lane 2 for 12 seconds.
Set 1/lane 4: 14.9, 15.2, 14.5
Set 2/lane 3: 13.7, 13.5, 13.2
Set 3/lane 2: 12.9, 13.1, 13.1

Overall, I felt like I was expending more energy than I needed to for these runs.  I wish I had been more relaxed.  Even though I expect to run slower at 6:00 AM I was hoping for about a half-second faster per repeat on average.  And that's why I need speedwork.


Wed, 4/3/13--Ran 2.2M loop in 17:00.  Easy day, although my legs felt heavy.
