The Speed Work
To clarify, I am not fast. I am faster that I was last year, but I am not fast. Just like the saxophone, I did not learn it overnight. As I was doing speed work this week, I was thinking what a love-hate relationship I have with speed work. When I am doing it (although it wasn't that bad this time, maybe I need to speed up), I want it to be over. When it is over, I am so glad I did it. A day later, I want to do it again but know that I need to be a balanced runner and do my tempo, long, easy runs too. How funny. Expect the unexpected with running. I tell my students that anything is possible, but running has definitely given new meaning to this mantra. I am looking forward to my early morning run on Saturday. Sleeping in is not in my vocabulary.
