1.86 miles in 14:16

didn't have a lot of time to run since i get to go back to work after a week's vacation this morning. (yes, i love my job, so i meant to say "get" in that last sentence.) i went up to the school with my wife, dropped her off and then started running from where i was.

i started out running at a decent pace with intentions to run around the outside edges of town. when i decided i didn't have the time, i suddenly felt the urge to sprint. so i did. i sprinted a block and then ran two. then i sprinted a block again. i ran two more blocks and then sprinted to main street. two more blocks and another sprint hit me. then it was run a block, sprint a block, run a block, sprint a block back to where i began. i finished out my run with at a slightly slower paced run back home.

i don't know if that's what you call speed work or fartlek or what, but it was fun. tiring, yes, but definitely fun!
