Today was the beginning of my training plan for the January 24th Indoor Mile. My goal is to run sub 5 minutes for that mile. Hopefully that will be possible and I don't make a complete ass out of myself. Therefore this morning in the blowing 18 degree morning I woke up and set out on my first speed workout of the winter. I ran a 2 mile warm-up loop that brought me back to the hill on the adjacent street to our house and ran 7 hill sprints. These were not the fastest hill sprints but they didn't feel to bad either besides the cold air ripping my lungs apart!!! I also ran this in my new Hoka Cliftons which are lighter than the Bondi 3 models I have been wearing.
