Ouch

Warmed up uphill 1.5ish miles and then ran an 800m with Jake and Shelby in 2:36. 200ms we're 32, 38, and then backed off to 86 for the 2nd 400m. I also ran in lane 2 for both laps.

Then we ran up 500 to the canal road and did a 3 mile tempo averaging just 6:10. Then we had a short recovery and the next 4 miles we climbed up past big rock and went through to Coldwater and then back down. By the time we stopped going up the mountain and started coming back done we were passed 10.5 so I was pretty drained. My legs were on fire on that climb.

Had a stabbing pain in my chest where my heart is a little before we finished the run, so that's kind of weird- haven't had that before.

Ended with a mile of walking.

Not really any part of this run was nice and easy but it was a lot of fun.
