speed work at the track

This was my first time ever doing speed work at the track. I've done it on the treadmill but not an actual hs  track. It was tough but fun. Now I know what to expect and feel like I can push myself more next time. I didn't want to die out in the end so I was a bit conservative. Plus, it hurts! A Lot when you are pushing yourself to run fast.

First, C and I ran to the track from our house at an easy pace - which is a little over a mile

once at the track we did:
5 - 800m repeats with 2 minutes of recovery in between.
my times were 3:35, 3:36, 3:38, 3:41, 3:37
Then I finished with 1 400m at 1:49
According to McMillian I ran pretty much on target for training, but I would like to 3:28 next week.

We ran home to cool down which was another mile

So roughly 4.75 miles today in about 36 minutes.
