fun

Had a very good 7 miler at Townlake this morning.  I started off nice and easy and then did a series of several speed ups I'd guess you'd call them.  Basically just running faster than normal.  Across I-35 I ran a lot faster than normal.  I mixed in some tempo speed, really slow shuffle and some walking and finished 4 minutes faster than my run with Steve last Thursday in 1:15.24.  I wasn't trying to run faster than last Thursday, not even looking at my watch once during the run but, I did find it interesting that I was substantially faster.   Anyway, that's going to be my new Tuesday morning routine and I'm going to call it Freestyle.  Freestyle in that I'll just do whatever I want to break up the routine of going slow. I really think it will be beneficial for my overall running fitness and it's fun!!
