Track Workout - Workout went like this:

1 mile warm up
3 x 800m (2:31, 2:34, 2:32) --- 100m recovery
1 mile cool down

First speed session since last summer (yup...time to get back into again), so took it easy in terms of the number of repeats. Still keeping recovery down to only 100m.
About 80m of the track was covered in an icy crust in lanes 1-3.

Felt good to get the legs moving again.

Foothills Trail / Pineridge - 1hr 40 mins

Starting from the dog park I basically ran an out and back through Pineridge and up and over the hill on Foothills trail --- To the base of the North dam, then turned around and ran back the same way.

• Felt great to get the wheels rolling again with the speed work on Tuesday. Starting out with 3 repeats is not much, but in the upcoming weeks I plan to slightly back off the pace (from low 2:30 to low 2:40) and start to increase the overall volume as the spring/summer rolls on.

• Planning to include a weekly hill climb of some sort on Thursdays from here on out. 

• Starting to get back into a general weekly workout schedule again.....good times!
