Track

Oh, boy do I love a good track workout.

This morning I felt like I was in high school again getting nervous to do a track workout. I met my new-found runner friend at 7:15 "by the hot-dog stand" (which, it goes without say, is not there at 7 a.m.). We gabbed in excited, fast, loud voices as we jogged over to the track. I can't tell you how great it felt to fall into an easy chatter with a running buddy - it's been so long! We stepped onto the lush track at South High and planned our workout, talking splits and other nerdy runner business. It was awesome. Keeping in mind that this was my first workout in over 15 months, I was pretty freaking proud of myself. The workout (with 600 active rest/jog between each):

3 x 1 mile (6:40, 6:40, 6:35)
800 (3:20)
2 x 400 (1:30ish)

The track workout was great and all, but mainly I'm just so happy to have found a running buddy! Looking forward to the upcoming month of running.
