Intervals - Week 3

                                          So much for running my intervals outside today!

I'm still sore from my long run 2 days ago so I was nervous about the 800 repeats I had to do today. I was going to cross-train yesterday but took a rest day instead and moved my cross-training to the end of the week (Saturday). I had six 800m intervals to do with 90 seconds of rest in between each one. This is how it went:

1. 4:14
2. 4:19
3. 4:13
4. 4:12
5. 4:13
6. 4:07

With intervals, the goal is run each one at almost the same time. I thought I would go for a 4:20 pace so I slowed down on the second one but then just ran what I thought was an OK pace for me on the third, and when I found it was closer to the first interval, I just went with the faster pace. I ran my last interval faster on purpose just to prove to myself that I was not running at my max for these and that I had some more gears left if I had to step it up. One mile warm up, one mile warm down, so 5 miles total. I still don't like doing these but, overall, I was pleased with my workout today.

So now, switching gears completely, here's my
                                           DEAL OF THE DAY

                                                           Sun-Bird seasoning packets

These are $0.84 each at both Meijer and Kroger. There is a printable coupon at coupons.com for $0.80 off any one Sun-Bird product. That makes them $0.04 each.

We are having chicken lettuce wraps for dinner tonight using the recipe off the back of the lettuce wrap seasoning packet.

So what are you having for dinner tonight?
