Intervals (5.42 mi)

The dog seems to be ready for some full speed intervals now.

Weight: 133.5 lbs
Time: 42 min

Skipped cross training today since I'm still dealing with some stomach cramping.  Otherwise, I felt pretty good today.

Warmed up with 1 mile run to the soccer fields, followed by 8 x 100 m striders (w/100 m cool downs.)  After that, we ran 6 x 400 m intervals w/200 m cool downs.  Finished up with an easy run back home.

Very cool and damp today.  The dog did a great job today, and actually kept up for all of the intervals, staying close to a 5:40/mi pace.  During the cool downs we were actually able to keep from dropping to a walk.  I'm looking forward to seeing how she does with 1/2 mile intervals next week.
