Steroids

Lately, I've been working on speed intervals. I'll run 3 minutes at a regular pace than speed it up and sprint for one minute and I'll do that through the whole run. Well it must be working because I had the treadmill set to turbo and I just kept going at a pace that is typically SUPER fast for me but I was handling it fine. I ended up running 3.66 miles in 28 minutes. I was trying to figure out if the treadmill was reading the distance in kilometers. Haha. I was in such disbelief that I went back to the gym the next day and made sure to run on a different treadmill but at the same speed just to make sure that it wasn't a fluke. It was not! I ran 3 miles in 22 minutes. I haven't ran that fast since I was in high school cross country. Haha. So I'm doing a 4.2 mile race this weekend and my goal is to get it done in 35 minutes. We'll see how it goes!
