Had a fun track workout last night as the Sole Runners took on 800’s for the first time this session. Our goals were, practice a fast pace, work on our Chi Running® posture while going fast, lifting the heels slightly higher, keeping our lean, swinging our arms and I always work on moving my internal energy (chi) up and out, so my feet land soft and quick.

I also was keeping an eye on my HR (heart rate). I know where it is going

to be in the last hour of my marathon if I am running close to 8 min/miles. The good thing was the intervals felt easier than I expected. I still have to work speeding up my long runs. Can I get past mile 16 before I want to start slowing down? The track workouts make going faster easier, that’s for sure.

As, usual we finished with some yoga at sunset. Another beautiful night in Long Beach. Oh, I forgot to mention $1 tacos afterwards
