Four 1600s!

Tonight was the FIRST time that I did four 1600s on the track! It was a great workout from 8:30 - 9:30 pm! I showed up at the St. Thomas track as it was getting dark, and while football practice was going on:

I told myself that if I was finishing up the first interval and my legs felt OK (no heel or knee pain), I would do four 1600s, instead of my usual 3. Well, I was on the homestretch of my first 1600, and I felt OK, so told myself I HAD to do 4 (with 90 seconds of walking rest in between).

1. (2:49 + 2:54) = 5:43
2. (2:48 + 2:52) = 5:40
3. (2:45 + 2:50) = 5:35
4. (2:45 + 2:46) = 5:31

Average of 5:37.2

I snapped a photo as soon as I was done. The “vein of approval” in the middle of my forehead popped out to say “I approved this workout:”

Another great evening workout in the bag! Tomorrow I’ll lift weights, Friday I’ll run 7 miles (or so), Saturday I’ll rest, and we’ll be off to the races on Sunday!!
