Ahhhh!!! I’m so lucky to be training with @naomi_gal this season!! (okay, year, because she’s the only other person I know who’s up for 20 milers 9 months out from our goal Marathon!) . . We’re so in sync, we were both thinking we’d close out January with 8 miles for our mid week, morning run. I was feeling sore from swimming and probably not enough recovery post-Dopey, so the lan was to take it easy. “Easy” has become a relative term.... 1 mile warm up, 5 descend 8:27, 8:26, 8:19, 8:03, 8:02, then 2 mile easy up those awful hills to finish it out! All done with a 90:30 interval!! . . Talk about grateful! I’ve loved training with all the girls I’ve trained with, they are the reason I’m a runner, but having a start to finish plan with someone who’s my pace is a totally different experience!! So, thank you, Naomi, for coming to the “interval dark side” AND running Chicago with Team in Training with me! . . #intervalrunner #teamintraining #outforblood #chicagomarathon2018 #devildogdouble #bqorbust
