Raj and I did 4x1600's today. We did a mile warm up, 4 repeats with 800 m recovery jog, followed by a mile or so recovery. It was warm enough that both of us had to shed the shirt after the first interval.

The splits were:

  1. 6:28
  2. 6:32
  3. 6:16
  4. 6:28

Most felt good and comfortable.

Tough recovery run this morning. I could not make myself wake up and for the first 3 miles could think of nothing other than turning around and heading back to bed. I did about an 8:52 first mile to warm up and then gradually moved down toward 8:00. Last mile was a 7:44.

Ran with Keith & Randy from Longleaf. Randy only had time for 6 so he turned around at Aristida. Had a nice easy run into the park only to find that 45 minutes after we started running they still had not opened the park gate. We eventually stood around for about 20 minutes (I hate this) and waited for  everyone else. We did 5.25 out and back to give us a total of 15.5. Shirts off and soaking shoes, it feels like summer is right around the corner...
