We were set up for 5x1000 (with approx 400m cool-down in between). 3-2-1-go! It was nice and refreshing to start out on a trail instead of rounding the corners of a track. It was a little harder to settle into a pace at first, but I wore my Garmin to check-in on my pace from time-to-time, so I was okay.
Unfortunately, in the second round, I felt a little pebble (which felt like a big rock) made it's way into the heel of my shoe. By the time that lap was done I had some fresh blister blood on my new shoe. boo!
I pulled up my sock and we were ready for round 3. I had to suck it up because I really wanted to keep control of those intervals.
Here is the run down...
4:39, 4:18, 4:17, 4:16, 4:24
It was a great night at the track, er, trail. I think I may just head back there from time to time for runs, as the shade and change of venue was quite nice. Next time I will try to wear taller socks so those nasty pebbles don't cause me trouble.
As an added bonus, when I arrive home, I was surprised to see that my husband already had 2 of our 3 boys in bed! What an amazing guy.
Happy Running :)
