Difficult

Today's workout was difficult. I met with Christy at Lake Zorinsky early in the morning and we did the following workout:

1.5 miles easy running

2.5 miles at marathon pace (15:42)
4 minutes rest
6 x 800 meters at 5K pace (2:50) with 1 minute rest between reps
4 minutes rest
2.5 miles at marathon pace (15:37)

1.5 miles easy running

I was glad to be done. The 800s about killed us!

Life is a lot like running. Difficult times make us stronger. They are not pleasant at the time, but they condition us to be stronger when adversity comes in the future.
