Did some YASSO's today...1/2 mile hard 1/2 mile recovery

w/u 1.17 miles (10:12).   7:54/10:19 - 7:55/10:32 - 7:58/11:02 - 7:55/10:25 (.26)

Well, I had a suicidal moment this pm.  That 16 year old boy came by to run again and he wanted to run with me.  He's a good runner but new to any kind of training ideas.  So, I thought, let's take advantage of this situation and have him push me on a few more YASSO's.  I thought, let's try doing 4 more.  After 3 I was toast and I was going to have him finish the last one all out, but he was nursing a pulled muscle, so we walked a bit and then I showed him a bunch of exercises to do to help his pulled muscle.  Here were the splits:

w/u .18, 7:23/9:33, 7:29/8:58, 7:40   w/d of walking for .14
