Tuesday dots

In the hopes of developing some leg speed and turnover that I'd lost over the winter, tonight's workout was 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 dots each with a 1 dot recovery jog. Since each dot is a tenth of a mile my goal was to run the 1 dots in 30 seconds or faster and the 2 dots at 60 seconds or faster (5 minute mile pace).

I ended up running 28.58, 62.52, 28.46, 60.56, 29.42, 59.41, 27.32, 58.78, 27.71, 55.36.

I was pleased that I got faster and stronger as the workout progressed and that I didn't really go lactic at any point during the workout. My last 2 dot was my fastest one, at 4:36 mile pace. My legs are finally starting to come around. did a solid warm down and ended up with a 7 mile day.

Starting to get the 'itch' and am looking forward to racing on the 14th.
