Warmed up and then did 6x800m with 1 minute rest and then a mile. It was actually 8x800 but I skipped the last two because my outside calf on my injured ankle leg was cramping up.

Splits were 2:43, 2:40, 2:39, 2:41, 2:42, 2:42, 5:24.

Not bad considering July was pretty much a wash from the injury and I've been at 30 miles with little speed work so far in August. I have a bunch of 5ks coming up.

Great weather tonight and I ran at the perfect time during the sunset while there's no sun in your face but it's still bright enough that you can run in the grass. Felt very smooth and comfortable and like my body wanted to run.
