Warmed up 3 miles with Jake

4x800m on the runway. 2:32, 2:38, 2:32, 2:27. I think they were a little long and the 38 was uphill. Legs felt decent but my lungs and throat were wrecked, my sinuses are really giving me a hard time. Originally was going. To do 6xK today but they're just wrecking me. Maybe I'll sauna tonight.

Ran into Kolten on the 2nd to last one and did the first mile of his workout with him after the 800s.

I think it's good to have a few weeks with nothing too hard going on, I really haven't taken a true unforced break this year and have rushed return to workouts after every race. I think Peach Days will be my only full effort run this month and the rest of the workouts will be pulled back to a comfortable level for the next few weeks. Just going to focus on building back mileage and feeling 100%.
