I'm just guessing at the fast/slow here, probably a bit more fast, but not 1/2 fast, I don't think.

I planned on doing intervals and then as my garage door was closing, I realized I wasn't wearing my watch, so I improvised.  I warmed up for 2 songs and then did one song fast, 1 song slow.  I'm not gonna lie, my ipod picked out what felt like some reeeeeeeally long songs for the fast parts.  The first one was Against the Wind by Bob Seger, and I was, appropriately enough, runnin' against the wind.  It was strong, according to the weather channel, about 18 MPH.  It was gearing up for a storm.

But anyway, the songs probably weren't as long as they felt.  I finished my run in a little over 40 minutes, I think, but I'm not positive since I just had a vague idea of what time it was before I left.

When I was done I lifted, which I haven't done in quite some time.  I'll have to check my blog for the last time (I think I almost always wrote when I lifted) so that I can try to figure out exactly why I stopped.  I think it was probably because I was running more to get ready for the 1/2 and then I never picked it back up again.

And then I fell asleep.  I think I'm getting sick.  I don't know exactly which day I'm going to take off from running this week.

Your method of alternating between fast and slow running is great! I should try that some time now that I'm finishing up my marathon training plan.

I hope you're not getting sick. Take care of yourself!
