First attempt at speed work in FOREVER

So here is what I did....

I did 7 minutes warm-up of 0.50 miles at 13:23 pace and then did 2 minutes sprint followed by 2 minutes recovery jog x 4 followed by a 7 minute cool-down of 0.50 miles at 14:14 pace.

Here are my splits: 
2 minutes sprint (1) = 0.18 mile at 11:08 pace
2 minutes recovery jog (1) = 0.15 mile at 12:56 pace
2 minutes sprint (2) = 0.18 mile at 10:52 pace
2 minutes recovery jog (2) = 0.15 mile at 12:56 pace
2 minutes sprint (3) = 0.20 mile at 10:12 pace
2 minutes recovery jog (3) = 0.15 mile at 13:27 pace
2 minutes sprint (4) = 0.20 mile at 9:50 pace** (would like to see this consistently for sprints)
2 minutes recovery jog (4) = 0.14 mile at 13:51 pace

I wanted to do 3 minutes instead of 2 but I need to ease into speed work I think :)

First time in a LONG time doing sprints

And yes, these ARE sprints for me, even if my sprinting pace is slower than you fast people's regular paces :)

Total: 2.39 miles in 30:00
