8 x 800s; Swimming

Get this....I went to bed last night at 8pm, yes I said 8pm to wake up this morning at 4am to go do my 10 mile LSD trail run up at Wildwood by 5am.
I wake up at 1am due to tummy pains....ugh stupid women curse, and all I can hear is the down pour of rain. I'm praying this goes away in the next few hours. I jump out of bed at 3:58am, excited to go run.....but then a cloud rains on my excitement as I see the downpour out my kitchen window. If I didn't have to go to work right after the run I would have said **** it and ran anyway....I've been drying to hit the trails. But instead I crawled back in my cozy bed and slept for another hour. Still ended up getting up an hour earlier then needed so I put it to good use and did some Pilates. The LSD run will not happen this week....oh well. I guess everything happens for a reason.

Tuesday Part 1 - Run - Speed Work

1 mile warm up
8 x 800's at 7:13 pace with 90 sec floats between.
Total 6.55 miles

These are difficult but today I conquered them. The first two were the hardest as I didn't do drills before hand and it took a while to get my tight short stride to lengthen out, but alas I found my rhythm. The middle 800's felt good. The last two where difficult but speed work I view is more mind over physical so I decimated them. At the end I felt like yelling at the treadmill "Who's your daddy?!" But since I was surrounded by other gym goers I restrained as to not be called a freak....but still I thought it and I thought it loud.
And now......I have the oh so high runners high
