AM - I had a breakthrough workout this morning. I had a 5k workout on the schedule, but with it being Mardi Gras weekend and the Endymion parade starting out of City Park this afternoon, I thought it would be better to avoid that area. Even early in the morning.
So I changed it to 1x3 mile, 2x1 mile @ tempo + 4x30s on the levee. There was a stiff breeze blowing, but aside from the first half mile being in my face, it was mostly a cross wind. I started the 3 mile at the Algiers ferry so that I could finish the last 2 miles on the road inside the levee and get a little more protection from the wind.
Reps went in 16:13 (5:25, 5:25, 5:22), 5:22, 5:20 and I felt great.
I used an old pair of Hyperspeeds that are a 1/2 size too big, but they were an improvement over the NB 1400s. There's just something about the 1400s that doesn't feel right for me. I think I'll use these more often moving forward.
PM - 4 easy.
