Intervals are FUN!!!

I know that sounds twisted, but I really enjoy them because they make me faster!

Workout report
I went over to the Roosevelt High School track this evening after work and ran my intervals workout. I started off with a mile warm-up getting used to the wind and planning my strategy to get around the track quickly and work with the wind instead of against it. After my warm-up I ran three 1000m intervals with a 600m jog recovery period.

Interval 1: 4:45
Interval 2: 4:46
Interval 3: 4:32 (flying!)

I always try to do my first two intervals in my goal pace and then the third one I let it fly and see how fast I can go. I'd like to keep working on these to improve my speed and really work on getting faster. I'm excited for my half marathon as I know I've prepared really well, so now I just have to go out there and execute my plan.

Diet/ Weight Report
I'm still going down in weight even while I'm struggling with my diet. I have a hard time getting regular, healthy meals in. It's just been really busy lately and I've been hitting the fast food places more than I should. I should really be cooking at home.

Weight: 193#
Body Fat: 21%

These numbers are good, but I'd like to make them even better! I'd like to see 188# and 19% body fat before the end of May. That's a short term goal…

See you on the roads folks!
