9-11-01.....to 9-11-12

Above is a pic I took last year at the 9-11 memorial fountain pools.  Very humbling...everyone should go there before they die.  Put it on your bucket list of things to do. 

The speed work did get done & "wait for it"....yes, it was actual "measured" 800s.  I only did 4 of them.  If I make it down there again next week, I'll go for six 400s.  I warmed up for 1.25 miles then I reset the garmin & took off.  The cool down after was 1.55 miles. (overall 4.8 miles) I drove to the ball fields in Nolensville & ran around the walking path that goes around the fields.  Got done just as pee wee football practice was starting at 6pm.  I know that 800s are just barely shy of 1/2 a mile but I didn't hit stop till I saw the .5.  I rested for 2 minutes in between each one.  I wonder what the times would've been had I been on a REAL, bouncy, track like the THS track in Tullahoma.  I know you're supposed to try to bring the times down as you do them but that last one, I was toast & the ragweed allergies started to kick in.  I had a sneezing fit as I drove home.  ;-(   I do feel better this morning than I did yesterday, thank goodness.
