Happy April !! Wow, I can't believe its April already !

Monday, 4/2: 6.3 mile run before work. Now that I'm a full-time telecommuter, I can run before work which ROCKS! It will be great, especially in the hot summer months!

Rich, a telecommuter is someone who works from home full-time. I am so blessed to work for United Healthcare who has an ever expanding telecommuting program! I was selected to telecommute back in February and finally, it started today.

I love it!

I did something different last night. Me and a friend did some speed training. 10 minute gentle jog for warm up. then 1/4 a mile running quicker than normal racing pace, followed by 1/4 mile walk. then 1/4 mile speed again. then 1/4 mile walk. Did 4 miles in total and was interesting to add a different angle to my training.

Richt - I've started doing some speed work as well. For now, just a "pace" run that is done 30 seconds to a minute per mile faster than my normal pace. The whole run would be at this pace. I have talked with a lot of runners that say the best way to improve speed is to do just what you described for speed work.

Having experienced it the once (On tuesday night) I can understand how the runners agree that its good. I guess though the proof will be in my next race. I always try to put a sprint finish on, this training will help no doubt.
