12 x 35s hill sprints. I was going to try for 15 reps, but I struggled to finish 12 as it was. Fitness still isn't great. I'm hanging around 157 lbs. Surprisingly I haven't lost any weight even with more volume.

Tempo workout. 4 x 1600m @ T + 4 x 200m @ R.

5:41, 5:55, 6:10, 5:54 (200m jog)

34, 34, 34, 33 (200m jog)

Nothing glorious about this. The first rep I got out too fast (first lap in 79). I've done so many reps at 5:20 pace that it's hard to overcome the muscle memory. I was hurting pretty good already after #2, and was way too timid on #3. 

These things happen on early workouts. There's a long hill to climb to get back to where I want to be, but it's only February. Plenty of time.
