Wanted to do a track workout so I went over to the high school. Not long into my warm-up I saw Ryan and did 4 miles with him. Haven't seen him in a while so it was nice to catch up. Workout was 6x800 with a lap and 2:30 rest. I was going to try to run them at 2mile pace (2:22) but I quickly realized that I have lost a lot of my track speed. First lap of the first one I was very slow so I pushed hard to catch up and got 2:23. Next one ran more even, didn't push the second lap as much and got 2:26. So I just thought whatever just try and get around there for the rest. Do what you can. So then I got 2:27, 2:27, 2:28, 2:27. Wasn't as fast as I thought it would be but I gave a strong effort and didn't give up in my first track workout in a long time. Cooldown three miles, one backwards on the track then two on the roads to get to 11.5 for the day. Shout out to my mom for coming with and putting in some work today as well. I showed her the spring after and she iced a little bit.
Happy Birthday to my good buddy Dalpal
