Yeah, I know. Not any world records going on here. I'm thinking this is my PR for this workout (I'd have to go dig through the archives to find out).

I do know my PR for a 400m sprint is 1:32 on 2/11/09, and it was a one time all-out effort for one sprint. I really couldn't keep that pace for eight rounds! I don't know how those guys do it!! "Those guys" being the guys in the morning class that run like friggin' gazelles. They are amazing. Still, it is encouraging to me to be cutting my times down ever so slightly. Being 11 lbs lighter, and eating better is helping. And even if it's only helping psychological...so what? Right? I'm getting faster!

Ok...off to work now!
