Training – Marine Corps Historic Half – Week 14 – Key Run 1

Today was my first training run.  After warming up I ran 5, 1K intervals with a 400 meter rest interval between each.  The goal was to run them at a 1K’s at 4:07 pace.  I misremembered the goal pace time at the track and ended up running them at a 4:02 pace.

My iTunes playlist needs some work.  I have lots of worship songs on it, but not all of them are good for speed work if you get my drift.

During my runs I planned to have some focused prayer time for the children who will be benefited by your contributions.  That is not likely to happen during the speed work runs.  They are short, concentrated, and require a lot of effort from me.  My mind was focused on maintaining the pace and finishing.  During the rest interval I was able to pray.  The long runs will be a good time to pray also.
