Crankin' Up Some New Speed at the Old Newton High School Track

It was a chilly afternoon, with some wind gusts, but I decided to brave the weather and go to the track to hone my speed skills. I'm glad I did because following this session, I had a real boost of confidence. I was running 400 meter repeats and I saved the fastest repeat for last completing it in 2:02!!

I love to run there, but it's not always available

It was fantastic to have the Old Newton High Track available for use. Especially since it's so conveniently located close to my workplace. I just got dressed to run, jumped in the car drove to the track, and did my thing.

I was able to complete each lap in 2:15 or less with nice, easy recovery laps between each speed lap. I look forward to many more weekly sessions at the Old Newton High Track as the 20014 school year continues!  My new motto is: Blood Pressure Down, Speed Up! Perhaps that 27 minute 5k will become a reality soon!! Cranking up some speed every week to help make it happen!!
