Speed ... sort of

Today was my speed day. I started off well but the fatigue of speed is a little different than the fatigue of endurance. I feel positive about the run. Start early at 5:00 am and pass a couple of deer on my way. So I started with a fast mile and followed with a slow jog for a half mile and then repeat. My goal was to be sub 12:00 for each mile. I was able to do that:

Mile 1: 10:54
Mile 2: 11:30
Mile 3: 11:40

I am going to tweak this speed work in coming weeks with varied distances. Last night I did come cross training and realized that I am not very good at pushups. It is sad for a former military guy to say. So I will be working on that as well.
