Speed work

I haven't tried to do any speed work since I moved here to Alabama. Mainly because of yet again the knee. The doctors say not to run hills or do speed work when trying to get rid of aches and pains. However since I have been feeling better and I haven't done any I thought I would give it a go! Last night I got on the tredill and I did 4 x800's at 4:30 with a recovery lap in between. it was good. I probably could have done another 4 but don't want to push it too fast. I only have about 6 weeks or so left...so I have to stay injury free. I also wanted to do it because i feel like i need to be a little faster to attain the goal for the MCM. In case you don't remember it is 4:30...realistically I think it will be more like 4:45 or 5:00. I really don't want the later!
Anyways..I am going to do some more working out today , get on the foam roller shortly and roll myself out LOl! I may also run a few miles today as well
I finally bought a light for running in the mornings. Thank god. I have to do 20 this week and alone at that so I need all the help I can get.
