Fit to Train

I often post my athlete's workout times, so I thought it only right to post my own now and again. Today's workout (that I dreaded beforehand): 4x 600m @ mile goal pace on full rest (~4mins standing) on the East Drive in Central Park starting at 90th St. heading north to the lamppost at the 97th St. bridge. Back & forth, downhill & up. This is a workout my athletes know well. Times: 1:40, 1:47, 1:43, 1:56. Not the fastest or most consistent but at least now I'm 'fit to train' and able to do workouts like this. It's taken me 1 1/2 months to get back here. Training is a process. I'm healthy and getting fitter and that's the most important thing.
