Speed workout at the BYU indoor track this morning with Michelle and Josse. Josse was there for moral support; Michelle was determined to run laps at a 6 mile pace until she puked.
Side note: That's a funny concept to me. I can't imagine most people would set out for a goal like that and even fewer people that could actually make themselves do it. I have experienced dry-heaving (or my body's attempt to puke as a result from a hard run) only once. It wasn't a race; I don't even know how I got myself to run that hard by myself. It's certainly not typical of me.
We warmed up outside. (Great weather in Provo, by the way...loved it!) We met up with Josse and then went inside to get ready for the tempo. After a bit of stretching and a few laps to check things out, we began. I wanted to keep Michelle's pace for as long as I could. Ended up doing the first 3 (of 5) laps for the first mile. Cheered her on, recovered. Picked it up again with her for another 2 laps. Recovered again then ran a final lap with her. So 1.2 miles total speed work for me.
Cooled down a few laps on the track and then headed out to get in some miles on the streets of Provo. I think my total time is accurate, but I started and stopped it at various points during this morning's workout. It should be close.
