A thousand times better

I ran with Gilbert's group this morning and had a great time. I was downright giddy to have someone to run a track workout with. And I didn't just have one person to run with; I was with at least 5 other people and we ran as a nice group.

We did the same workout that Liz did today! Only ... we didn't do it in Rome and we did it considerably slower. We did 5x 1000 with 200 yards of rest. He had us start out slow, with a 4:14, and then we were supposed to hit 4:00 for the next 3, and we did 3:57, 3:54, and 3:56. Then we were on our own for the next one and I did 3:39, which is my fastest 1K ever in a workout by 6 seconds. And I used to do them regularly. So I was pretty stoked (even though the rest of my group dusted me on it!) I think I talked nonstop while I was there.

So I've got my old attitude back. Which is nice.

Anyone else sick of college football already? And it's only Thursday ...

Hi - nice 1000 meter workout! Great job on your last interval. I am glad you have your old attitude back. It sounds like a fun group to do a workout with - hope you have a great start to the New Year!

I'm glad you had fun running with us. Ever since I started training with that group I've been amazed at how fun the workouts are and how excited most of the people are to show up. And the getting a lot faster part is nice too. :-)
