4X400

So started my 10K training today. First on the list - 4X400 - On paper that sounds pretty easy. Saying it out loud, sounds pretty easy - doing it - not as easy as I thought! But I did it and felt great when I was done.
It's my first time training like this and I think I'm going to like changing it up, with the tempo runs, long run, and what I did today, I can see how a person could barf doing that type of interval training. I like the idea too of some days running for distance and some days running for time.
Here's my Garmin screen capture:

Round, and round.... where the red lines jut out  shows me walking to pick up dog poop during my cool down walk at the end. I let Shelby off leash at that point and, well, dogs will be dogs. Then you can see where I had to walk past my car to find a garbage can. Love my Garmin!

OK - here I go

Today my friend Patti from church gave me the 10K training plan and I have to say, It's got me excited about running again. I think I was getting tired of doing the same thing day in day out, not changing it up enough.
We are going to try to run together on Fridays for our long runs with a couple of other gals.
Here is an actual archive photo of the local high school's track. The school's been around for a l-o-o-ng time.

So tomorrow I'll be running here doing 4x400 - sounds like a nice change.  I also like that the schedule changes up to be running some days for distance and some days for time. I think this will really help get me back on track.
