I should probably call Kirk Elias because these were too fucking hard. To paraphrase, he said, "When you get to be our age, you have to walk away from intervals with something left. Otherwise you won't come back." I ran 5X1000 meters with three-minute, 200-meter intervals, with a plan to go under five minutes on the first, and then take 10 seconds off each of the following, in 4:57.1, 4:48.5, 4:39.3, 4:30.5, and 4:28.6. If someone threatened me with a hydrogen bomb tied to my family, along with Pam, Jo, and Samantha, in the attic of the cat-filled bookstore in San Antonio, I might have been able to run the last one five seconds faster. Might have. It was practically a time trial. I'm pretty sure that's not what Kirk intended, but lost the plan's details when someone stole my last laptop on Halloween, 2006.
For the sake of comparison, the last time I completed this workout, with you (Erin) on Dec. 13, 2005, we did them in 4:58.6, 4:50.1, 4:38.9, 4:25.0, and 4:48.5.
