For as nervous and apprehensive as I was about joining a Tuesday night speedwork session with a local running group (and spending $115 on top of that), I must say, I love my Tuesday night workouts. They are always tough but good.
But, you know me. I like a good ass-kicking every now and then.
Last week, I missed speedwork due to a terrible migraine. I was so upset.
This week, I had to force myself to go by reminding myself how upset I was last week about not going.
The beginning of the workout felt hard - apparently I had some kinks to work out before things felt better.
The last part of our workout was a 2x1.32 mile tempo, first lap at half marathon pace and second lap at 10K pace. I was cruising along with my running partner, just chatting about whatever came to mind when I realized ... half marathon pace was conversational pace!
Never did I think that would ever happen. Not that half marathon pace is anything incredibly fast (we cruised at 11-11:15 mms), but for me, this is a huge sign of the progress I have made over the last two months.
And guess what? Feels damn good.
