Intervals

All the running books and Web sites I've seen say you should do some intervals once a week. Today, I did four sets of 1/2 mile intervals. I knew it wasn't going to be a good workout during the 1-mile warmup. The times: 1st half: 3:27, 2nd half: 3:24; 3rd half: 3:29; 4th half: 3:32.

In November, I was doing six 1/2 mile intervals and my times were easily 3:15 to 3:20. Think the problem is this: I have two glasses of wine each night and the last few days, i have not had my blackstrap molasses. Well, Ive got a half marathon this weekend, so, after tonight's two glasses of cabernet sauvignon from clos du bois, i'm done drinking until after the half marathon on Sunaday in Austin.
