Ran to the track and did a mile there and then ran back. Felt pretty good.

2 warm up miles, 7:06 and then 6:46.

800m in 2:31 (74.6, 76.8)

Lap recovery in between reps (2:06)

400m in 72

200m recovery (1:07)

400m in 69

Lap recovery and then jogged home, some walking because I brought my phone and pokemon go was calling.

Felt better than I have recently. The 800m was pretty smooth up until the last 200m, which is way better than last weeks even if it was slower. 400m were somewhat hard efforts, the 69 still felt like a little too hard of an effort. But I'll wait a few more weeks before I start trying to do shorter/quicker pace workouts.

Ran a few miles and then did 3 100m sprints and 2x26 lunges. I also did 25 calf raises on each leg after I ran back home.

I guess I didn't wait a few weeks to start doing shorter and faster workouts, but it felt good.
