Missed yesterday's run because Whitney had to go to the ER. She fell from sitting in a dining chair and broke her collarbone... She's doing fine but scary that can happen just while she's sitting up to the table and falling like 18 inches.

Today we did 400, 9x200, 400. 2 mins recovery for the 400s and 1 minute for the 200s. I didn't have my watch but I ran about 60-61 for the first 400 and then averaged about 31 or 32 for the 200s (going off Jake's times). I used my phone to time the last 400m and and I was at 31 at the 200m but accidentally paused it on the last turn. I'm guessing it was a 64-65.

5x 3 on 2 off with Jake. Precipitation felt like someone was blowing ice shards in my face, very windy and wet. We averaged high 5:30s for the ones and 6:40 for the offs. Was supposed to be 5:30/6:30 but given the conditions this was solid.
