Easy run on the virgin river loop. Felt a little sick to my stomach.

Track - The workout called for 4x(400, 800, & 1200) with 400 recovery.
Not feeling very well and I showed up to see what I could do. I did one set and when I started my second set my calves got very tight after the 400. I decided to run a couple more 400's to see if anything would change. There was no change so I shut it down to save my legs for the rest of the week.
400 (1:29 time/5:56 pace)
800 (3:15/6:24)
1200 (4:52/6:25)
400 (1:32/6:08)
400 (1:31/6:04)
400 (1:31)

Easy pace on the TM. Started the first mile at 6.7 mph and increased 0.1 every mile. After mile 8 I decreased speed 0.1 every half mile. It makes the time go by faster when I make little adjustments and goals. Ave pace 8:27
