Working on Speed

Spring arrived, and then it left.  Yuck.

I really need to work on speed, so I decided to run laps around the park last night.  It is exactly 1km around Victoria Park.  I figured I’d do 5 laps and see if I could keep my time under 5 min/lap.

The weather was awful.  It was windy and it was rainsnowing the whole time.  I hope this doesn’t last.

I did the 5 laps.  Only the first and last laps were under 5 minutes.  I guess I still have some work to do.  Not much time left before the race but it’s something to work on in the future.

I can’t run tonight, but I’ll go out for 10 or 11k on Wednesday.  The weather will be nice on the weekend, so I’ll try for two longer runs.
