My schedule with Ric ended last week, so I went to the track today and Ric told me to run 10 laps of In and Out 100's. Right away I needed to get the right mind set because once you start you keep running for 10 straight laps. I can run 10K at 6:00 mnute mile pace( My Boulder Bolder pace was 5:58 pace), but to run that pace by running 200 meters in 50 seconds followed by 200 meters in 40 seconds continuous for 2 1/2 miles left me literally lying on the track in exhaustion. I have always found this workout to be a true test of fitness. Ric usually has me run this for 3miles, but 2 1/2 miles was plenty today. I finished the workout just under 6:00 pace, 14:52. What a great feeling it is to push your body to it's limits! This morning's workout is the highlight of my day.

Good job Patty! That's a testing workout -- I've only done it once.
I was thinking about you yesterday while I was struggling with my 200s and my glute/piriformis was locking up, as I remembered you having to have physical treatment in Italy at the world championships; you weren't even sure you could run and you ended up with silver and bronze medals. At the moment I'm running with one leg, but because of your story I'm still hopeful for Sunday.
