Black Sheep workout at the East High track. John Straley figured out a way to incorporate decorated pennies, Sponge Bob Squarepants, and tremendous pain into this workout. It would take me a long time to explain the way the workout was structured, but here's the bottom line:

1.2 mile warmup on the road

800m speed changes on the track

7 x 700 averaging about 2:14, with most of the quarters in about 72

1 mile of accelerating 300's (jog easy 100, then accelerate each subsequent 100 for 300m)

then 1.2 mile cooldown back on the road.

I was sort of sluggish today, couldn't really get it into a rhythm. I don't think I ate enough carbs last night for dinner. Josh Steffen was on fire, however. Sam was a maniac in the 300s.

 Added another 3 miles tonight after work, easy, up through Memory Grove to 9th Ave.
