Mile repeats today with Jackie... Jackie said every time after we finished a repeat she wanted to swear and would say to herself..."Son of a B". Made me laugh because I felt the same way. Today we worked on making our recoveries not last so long. We have a way of dragging them out. So we kept them to just walking a quarter mile after each. Seemed appropriate. The first repeat was fine. My watch read 6:19 and Jackie's read 6:16.. we were right next to each other. Second one HORRIBLE it was SUPER painful... we didn't rest long enough either. My watch 6:16 Jackies 6:13 again we were next to each other. Third was fine.... I didn't look at my watch at all and told myself to just run my best. My watch 6:26 Jackies 6:21. She wasn't that far ahead of me so I am counting it as 6:23 4th hard but ok... again didn't really look at watch told myself to run as relaxed and strong as I could. My watch 6:27 Jackies 6:19 we finished at the same time though. So I will just average my times with Jackie's watch since we ran side by side for each repeat except for the 3rd. 6:18, 6:15, 6:23, 6:23 Was going for 6:20-6:25 Should have taken the first two a touch slower and maybe could have averaged each at 6:20. Glad it is over... mile repeats are my least favorite speedwork out. Now off to finish painting my girls room.... tedious work with a two yr old helper. Wish me luck! Upper body weights and ABS
