Ok, so Bill had this bright idea that he now wants to start doing some interval training.....something he knows would help him and he should have been doing all along. He now has a new goal for Maui Marathon and wants to work towards it for the next few months, with interval training being one part of it. He mentions it at running on Saturday and Melissa and Kristin pipe up that they'd be interested. Now with others on board...it is to become a reality. Sundays become the day to do this (and we later decide that some weeks will be hill workout too).

We had to find a track as Case's isn't open to the public, and Horlick's is in terrible shape. Luckily Park's isn't too bad. We meet there and get going. Four laps to warm up, then 6x400s---one lap around at a faster pace, then jog/walk for half a lap or about 2 minutes, repeat for a total of 6 times, then 4 laps to cool down. It works out to be 4.5 miles, with the speed workout as the newer challenge. At the end of it all, I realize that I did the 400s in about 1:43-1:56 minutes (which works out to be 6:45-7:40 minute mile pace). That's a good push and should help with speed a bit if we do this a few times a month.
