Stretches and lunges.  Warm and humid this morning.  Lost Nation Road loop.  I felt OK through about 7 miles, then I started getting tired.  I worked too hard for most of the run, but slowing down was uncomfortable. My back pain was about 1/10.  10.83 miles.  1:19:33.  7:21/mile.  147 BPM.

First true quality session since coming back after surgery.  It felt really uncomfortable, which I expected.  I ran them based on effort without looking at the watch.  4 x 400 with 400 recovery.  82, 83, 81, 82.  2 mile warmup/cooldown.

Workout was supposed to be 4 x 1200 w/ 3 min rest, but turned into 2 x 1200, 1 x 800.  I'm still getting used to interval work again and it's taking a bit to get used to hurting again.  Additionally, I'm still learning all the whiz-bang features of my Garmin 620.  I tried using the workout feature, but programmed it incorrectly.  Consequently it was beeping and buzzing at the wrong times.

I should've gone old-school and just ran the darn workout without trying to use the program, but I was already halfway into the workout and too pooped to continue much further anyways.  I also need to keep the workbouts reasonable to avoid reaggrevating any old injuries.  It has been many years since I've run these types of workouts.  Oh well, it'll come.  I'm sure I'll be knocking out a dozen quarters or 6 x 1 mile in the Spring.

2 miles wu/cd.  4:27, 4:30, 3:00 for the 1200s and 800.
