Quarter Mile Repeats

3 hours of good sleep is not enough to feel like I have my legs under me when I sprint.

I went in planning on doing 12x400m sprints at a 1:45 pace, walking 1 minute in between repeats.  It was so hard.  My legs were really heavy.  I got through 8 of them and had to take a break.  I stretched and did jumping jacks, trying to wake up my legs. I was thinking that I would run at 8.0 miles an hour, but it was actually 8.5 mph to hit the right time. Sheesh.

I finished that last 4 repeats and finally felt like I could keep going.  My time was up, the bus was coming soon, so I headed home.

That was a good, hard effort run.  I can go faster, I just have to push.  Adding an incline makes it all harder too.  I can tell my backside is getting stronger.
