Speed Work of a Snail

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with my friend Jessica who is training for the NY Marathon, along with her sister, Amy, who is also the god-mother of my children.  We will be doing speed work at the local high school track, which in my case is an attempt at increasing my pace from that of a snail to that of a turtle. 

Having never done speed work before, I'm looking forward to this experience, and am relying on Jessica's knowledge to lead me through this first of what will hopefully be many-to-come speed work sessions (considering both Jessica and Jeff swear by them).  I expect at the end of an hour's training session to be as limp as a dishrag, and hope to have incurred a few battle wounds along the way over my newly discovered lightening speed, to which my legs will be entirely unaccustomed.

Watch out 2016 Olympics!  Here I come!
