Couldn't roll out of bed for a morning track workout, so I hit the trails at about 7:30PM, after a small dinner.  Planned to do 400s on the track, so I did 8Xquarter mile with two minutes rest (one minute walk and one minute jog).  Trails were pretty sandy and it was steamy, so the times were a bit slower than on neighborhood roads (88 to 95 seconds) - felt pretty good though.

Good strength workout on sandy trails Doug. How's the abs/injury afterward?

Manageable - just gonna have to baby it through the summer track series and then lay off track work through the fall. If I go at least 36 hrs between runs, with no sprinting, it fades away over time. That will allow me to build up to 30-35 miles per week - plenty for me to be somewhat competitive in a couple 5Ks in Oct-Nov. Notice how I'm already setting myself to NOT be competitive in a couple weeks at the Midnight Run :)
