Fartlek?

7 Miles

So my run Tuesday night ended up feeling like a fartlek workout. The reason was that I didn't want to stop at all the lights when I crossed intersection, so I tried to time it right and catch the lights on green. Most of the time this involved jumping to a 4 or 5 minute pace for a hundred yards or so. Once I crossed an intersection I would slow down to what felt like a walk and be huffing and puffing. I made myself keep a run though, no matter how slow, until I caught my breath. I think it may have turned out to be pretty good for me though. We'll see!
