More Intervals

Ran 7x800 intervals - and didn't hate it! Gee, do you think running at a slower (approx. 8:30) pace actually helps me make it through? I ran 7 miles total and never strayed more than a half mile from the entrance to our development. I've found a relatively flat stretch of sidewalk that works for this kind of running. We'll see how I feel Saturday morning for the KC Half, but at this point I'm inclined toward running a little faster pace and seeing how I hold up.

Also started setting up a playlist for the Route 66 Marathon. They advertise that iPods are allowed since the course is closed to traffic. Not sure I like what I have so far since some of the transitions seem kind of sudden. Once I get it all in order I'll list the songs. Right now it includes Springsteen, Zep, Del Shannon, Petty, Smithereens, Stevie Ray, Lyle, Buffett, Sammy, Bear McCreary, and of course the Old 97's. It's coming in at less than two hours so far, so I have a long way to go.
