5:15 a.m. comes awful early in the morning.  Add sprint workouts at the track on top of that.  It's a little disheartening to be the only girl (and the slowest) among other guys at the track doing these sprints.  Not that my times aren't good FOR ME.  They are.  But, it would be so nice to not be last each time :)  

We did 1 mile (7:47)

800 (3:46)

400 (1:45)

800 (3:46)

400 (1:40)

800 (3:48)

 Like I said, the times were actually good for me.  Too bad I couldn't keep up that pace for an entire race :)  Maybe the mile pace for a 5k.  

Then, home to change out of my sweaty clothes and into different running gear.  Kids up for school, then biking up to the school.  My 4 year old just learned how to ride a bike without training wheels last week and is enjoying keeping up with his brothers.  I have been running behind him while he rides.  He was a little slow last week, but we pumped up the tires on Friday.  Amazing that difference that makes!  :)  He was cruising along this morning and my tired body, already hammered from the earlier workout, was working to keep up with him.   We are .7 miles from the school, so out and back and I had sweat through my second running outfit for the morning.  (It is a bit warm again this morning, too).  Now, I'm ready for a nap. . . :)
