I wasn’t ready to talk to Monday, yet.

5:30am run with friends

And Perch afterwards

Truth.

Track prep: Caramel Macchiato Gu, splits in a plastic bag because rain was in the forecast, and Cocogo.  Use code: JENCHOOSESJOY (all caps) for 10% off.

I still keep the original Picky Bar bags to hold my key for rainy day runs.

Workout: Yasso 800’s – NERD ALERT: Bart Yasso just commented on my Instagram post about my workout!!!

(My last tough workout before Boston and it was in the rain!)

3.5 mile warm-up

10x800m (400m recovery jog)

1 mile cool down

My goal was to keep my 800’s under 3:36.  My actual splits were: 3:35, 3:34, 3:34, 3:34, 3:35, 3:33, 3:33, 3:33, 3:32, 3:27.

Here’s a great article from Runner’s World about the Yasso 800’s.  Supposedly, there is a correlation between your 800m time and your predicted marathon finish time.

Jason surprised me with beautiful flowers.  I’m sure it didn’t have anything to do with him being out-of-town for the NCAA Final Four and National CHampionship games! 😉  If you’re local, Garden Delights always sends the prettiest arrangements.

I had a MantraBand giveaway on Instagram a couple of weeks ago.  @cosmo_polita won and posted this gorgeous pic!

What’s the earliest you’ll wake up to run?  I have a rule that my alarm time can’t start with a 3:XX!
