Today I decided to do some fartleks to get back into a frame of mind involving speedwork. It was "only" 85 degrees when I got home, but with the sun out and no clouds I decided to wait until after dinner before running. I'm not sure it made a ton of difference, but it made enough of a difference to allow me to run 6 miles with 1-2-3-2-1 fartleks. I was able to increase my speed from the heat-induced 10:30/minute miles to below 9 minutes/mile during the intervals. It was nice to feel the wind in my hair again - haha, anybody who's seen me knows that's a joke. Anyway, I'm glad to back in that frame of mind. I'm thinking that I should do some hill repeats on Thursday to build up strength. That seems to be the advice for early in a training plan. Which I still need to put together, btw.
