Friday and looking Forward to Weekend

Was able to pull of my 3 mile run on Wednesday after my long make up run on Tuesday. Though slow I had no issues and did not need to stop.
I also did Thursday's 5x800 workout and decided to shorten my rest period in between sprints. So instead of a .50 rest and then a .50 sprint I rested for .25 (400 meters) and the did my sprints. I did warmup for .50 at the start to before my first sprint. I was able to complete this with 3.3 miles.
So my sprints looked life this:
1. 7.5 at 8 min/mile
2. 7.5 at 8 min/mile
3. 7.6 at 7.54 min/mile
4. 7.7 at 7.48 min/mile
5. 8.0 at 7.30 min/mile I wanted to push the pace more than I had and tomorrow for my 7 mile pace run will aim to stay on pace at 9 min/mile and complete under 1:05 - the goal.
I also did abs, one legged squats and rear back delt rows. I still need to solidify  a good weight lifting routine yet aiming for 3 workout sessions, 3 times a week. Will try and keep it simple for now and also use the machines more so I don't have to thinks to hard or over think the exercises as running is enough for me to think about!
Have a great weekend.

Here's to BRING in 2015,
Yvonne
