Sort of Speed Work

Today I had a speed work session on my plan.  Since I haven't done speed work in a while so I knew I shouldn't overdo it.  I am concentrating on staying healthy.  I was at the trail at 7 a.m.  Jim went with me.  We did a 10 minute warm up jog.  Then we ran 4 minutes fast followed by 1 minute walk.  We repeated this for 3.5 miles.  Then the last 1.5 miles we ran easy for 4 minutes and fast for 1 minute.  It was comparatively cool this morning but still humid.  My Garmin reset itself when I stopped at the bathroom.  It seems to restart if I stop longer that a minute or two.

When I was in the bathroom Jim was talking to a man who was finishing his run.  I heard Jim tell him, "I'm not a runner.  My wife is the runner".  I told Jim that he is a runner.  He has a medal rack full of medals.  He has a drawer of race shirts.  He has a clothes basket of stinky clothes.  He is a runner.
