Good workout. These shorter intervals are much easier for me to do (duh!). Aside from the first where I was evidently just getting up my head of steam, they were all pretty quick (for me) and I managed to keep the pace between intervals at a slow jog as a minimum.
The real action was when I returned home. The vacant (wooded) lot next door had company. Now the last time folks decided to camp out there, the sheriff found a mobile meth lab, so I was a bit more cautious this time around. After approaching the car that was pulled into the lot, the male driver occupant announced they were stuck. I asked what they were doing there and he said camping. Then I asked the tough question....."Do you know the property owner?" at which point he punted and pointed to his passenger, a young female, who said Michael. I said "Ah, well then that's okay." and walked off, quickly taking a picture of the license plate on the way out, and jogged up the road to call the *real* owner, right after I summoned the police. Long story short, the young lady evidently took a trip to jail for some outstanding warrants and the young man was read some type of riot act but let go since someone has torn down the "No Tresspassing" signs again. I plan to have a long chat with the property owner (who lives about an hour away) about policing up some of the stuff that invites these people next door. But at least I got to practice my emergency action procedures, like securing the family inside, breaking out the home defense equipment, etc. Now if I could just bottle this adrenaline boost and use it at the races on Saturday..... Asics GT 2120 - 159.85 miles.
