Spring has officially come to Bellingham. The last few days have been about 60 degrees and sunny, and it's not likely to get too cold again. I work nights this week and took advantage of the sunshine by heading up to campus for a mile pace workout on the track.
The workout was 5x(200, 200, 400) with 2:1 time rests. I figured this being the first serious mile pace workout, I'd try for 67s and see how it went. I opened up the first 200 in 32.5 and thought it wasn't too bad, so I decided to see how long I could keep it up. It turned out to be just a hair harder than ideal, but I think the first workouts are just going to feel that way. I am stoked to be running 65 pace this early. Hopefully I can get back to PR shape by mid-April and have the rest of the season to get to faster times.

Hit the gym at work and did my Weakling Circuit. Squats, bench, lats, calves, and a bit of stomach and back. With the squats I'm trying to get really deep and it's hitting muscles I am in desperate need of strenghtening.
