I took off yesterday.
Today I figured I'd try an interval workout. I usually don't like doing interval workouts early in the morning since my legs feel asleep and I feel weaker due to my insufficient energy level and an empty stomach. I feel especially vulnerable when I ask my body to do anything beyond 200 meters at 6 AM under these conditions. Anyway, I wanted to give it a shot since I took off yesterday and will not run tomorrow (My family and I have a 6 AM flight to Florida--Disney--tomorrow morning, which means we need to be up and out early to get to the airport by 4ish). I decided to do 400s and 200s. They were nothing to write home about, especially the first sets, but I am glad I did them since I am thinking about entering the 800 at Keystone Games, which are in a couple of weeks.

Admittedly, I should have runs sets 1-3 like I ran sets 4 and 5. I hope to be able to do some base work (40-45 miles) in Florida. I really should install a long run (10-12 miles) and/or a fartlek.

As my wife has said, anything is possible at Disney, the happiest place on Earth.
