Need for Speed

Last night was my 1500m season opener. All things considered, it went well. I pretty much ran even 60sec laps from start to finish. I felt solid and in control though 1200m, then I just didn't have any speed to close. That is exactly what I was expecting. I'm coming off a big base season and have only ran 1500m pace once before heading into this race.

I'm pretty excited that I can go out and run even 60s without any speed what-so-ever. It will be interesting to see what I can do once I teach my legs to go fast again.

Kate and I have extended our stay here in Santa Cruz, California. We will now be staying until May 18th so that we can head back to L.A. and race at the OXY HP meet at Occidental College on May 17th. Historically, this is an amazing event. Last year 3 sections went 3:35 or faster.

Time to put some speed in these legs!
