Well - today I kicked it up a notch. I did a 3 mile run and then ended up at the Petaluma High School track again, where I did some Gentle Pickups (GPs). These are where you gradually pick up your pace up to nearly all-out over 90 meters to about 90% of all out, hold it for 10 meters and then gradually slow down and walk to full recovery. I did 5 of them, even though I was only supposed to do 3. I lost count, yes, even at such a low number. They were fun! And then I ran home at a comfortable pace, similar pace to my long detour trek out to the track.
