Yes, I got my run in this evening, but yesterday was much more interesting.  Drove up to Atlanta to watch Travis and a few other of our athletes race at Georgia Tech.  Trav did the 800 anchor leg of the coed sprint medley, and they won their heat and placed 5th overall with a 4:02 - Trav went 2:07 in 63/64.  Three hours later he ran 2nd leg of the 4X8 and went 2:07 again, and was a bit more aggressive in 62/65 - he was pleased and coach was pleased - told him he will definitely go sub 2:05 when he runs it next in 2 weeks.

I ran 2 miles easy and then 2X 200m hills with 600 jog between, then 4 striders and a half mile cool down.

Nice report on Travis, Doug. Is he focusing on the 800 this year or does that happen to be what he ran this weekend?

Just how it worked out this weekend. He sees himself as a "miler" so the 1600 really is his focus. Early in the season, his coach has been working him under and over with a couple 3200s and now the 800s. He's only run two outdoor 1600s so far - both at 4:46. He will do the 1600 and 3200 this weekend at the FSU Invite - they are on separate days, so should be fresh - I kinda expect him to go sub 4:40.
