Total Distance
3.00

Well, total running distance is 3 miles today.  I think I will have walked another 3 miles by the end of the day. . .one more car thing to fix. . .

Got up at the unearthly hour of 4:45 a.m. this morning to be at the track and do the sprint workout with our new "running club".  Been looking forward to this.  Of course, it meant we both slept like crap last night.  You know, the kind of sleep you get the night before a big race?  I dreamt I overslept my alarm and we didn't make it, and then, it's the 1st day of school here, today, too.  So, that added to the dreams of being late for school on top of being late for running this morning.  Thought I might get to sneak a nap in here today, too, but a nail in a tire has prevented that.

Anyway, back to the run.  Yeah, we were definitely the slow ones.  Okay, I was the slow one.  We did a couple laps of warm up, then 1 mile  (I did 7:35), 800, 400,  800, 400, 800.  I think that's how it went?  Anyway, we actually skipped the last 800 because someone wanted an all out 400 race at the end.  I think my time was 1:35?  Still dead last.  That's okay.  I'm the only girl out there, and the shortest :)  Loving this group to work out with.  Hoping it helps improve my times.
