Running in circles

Sometimes track workouts, like any workouts, seem to go on forever. Running in circles is only fun for so long before it become rather monotonous. But, you have to put in the work if you want to see results.

On Tuesday I met up with my training partner Andrew for a 'beat the heat' 7am workout on the AU track. We ran 16, 400 meter repeats each with a 200 meter jog in between. My head was spinning after we were done (combination of the heat and all of the circles were to blame). In all, the workout totals 6 miles on the track, plus 3 for warmup and 3 for cool down. The best word to describe my physical state after the workout - POOPED. Oh it felt so good though to have run 12 miles all before 8:30. And, what a great sense of accomplishment running a hard workout in the heat. Sometimes the challenge of working out in tough conditions makes that great post workout feeling even better. I hope that you all get to take part in similar experiences through the rest of the Pedometer Challenge.
