speed runs

I've begun incorporating speed-work into my long-runs. It works out great-- let me tell you why:

Because by the time I get home, I'm really working against the clock. I don't want to be outside running alone in the dark, so I time my runs so that I have to run quicker during the second half in order to make it home before the sun sets!

In other words, I force myself to have a speed workout! HAHAHHA, whatever works, right?

I'm so happy to be back in training season! It feels GREAT!
