1. Today I ran probably one of the hardest interval workouts that I have ever run. I've done Yasso 800s before, and because of the distance they entail, they are an incredibly hard workout. But today I had 4x1200m intervals, which sounds pretty standard and nothing too exciting and way easier than 10x800s. But my coach thinks I'm faster than I think I am, and he had me run those 4 intervals at a pace faster than my fastest recorded mile. I've never run a mile faster than 8:33 (FYI, I've also never officially done a magic mile, that record was set at the beginning of a 10k). But today, I needed to go 8:15 for 1200m (0.75mi) and repeat that 4x. I thought I was going to die. But I didn't. So of course now Adam has his chest all puffed with his "I told you so" grin. When will I learn?
2. Tomorrow... the big kiddos both have Thanksgiving meals at school, and then a week off. The term "off" is subjective. They might be "off" from school, but it is definitely not a week "off" for me. I guarantee they are still full throttle by 6:30am every. single. day.
3. I have two giveaways going on, what are you waiting for... first I have a Glitzbandz Giveaway and secondly, I have my HUGE fundraiser for Texas Scottish Rite Hospital that helped my baby girl. Without them, she wouldn't be able to walk or run. Tons of great prizes, and I pick 4 more winners tomorrow... and every Friday after until the prizes are gone. Please consider donating!!!

awesome job with the speed work!! You are rocking it. :)
Hope you feel better soon and that the kids days "off" are fun for all of you.
Congrats on nailing your speed intervals! You are much stronger than you think, believe in yourself! :)
You are faster than you think and you won't find out unless you push yourself! So go you! 1200s are such a hard workout- I love triangle workouts too...
1200s are HARD. Great job nailing it! You stronger than you think, your mind wants to quit way before your body is ready. Awesome.
You really need to stop nailing these hard workouts that you say you can't do. My chest is so pushed out that my shirts dont fit.
I knew you could do it!
I don't think your family ever takes a day off! Maybe I better not steal one of the children ... I couldn't possibly keep up!
That's a great speed workout! I need to work on my speed so thanks for sharing this.
