Running Around 1-19-09

This week, we're hitting the track for the first time in 2009. Over the next few weeks we'll be alternating between on-tack and off-track workouts. It's still early in the year, and we can be very productive and get still get quality workouts with hills, etc.

The workout for this week is one of out bread-and-butter tempo workouts. Hopefully this will give us a chance to get some solid pace work in as a mini tune-up for Calhoun's. With a race coming so early in the season, I always consider this one to "train through". I don't do anything special to prepare other than maybe re-arranging my runs a little to have an easy day on Thursday and/or Friday.
