Never ceases to amaze me... ridiculously cold (for my delicate soul) and damp for my lunchtime run, so planned on just gutting through a 4 miler including the north loop, but not working it hard like I have the past few weeks.  At two miles (the beginning of the north loop), I felt warmed up a bit and fairly smooth, so decided to steadily pick up the pace through the north loop.  Still felt smooth at 3/4 through so worked the last section hard and sneaked under 5 minutes for the 0.8 mi loop.  That was my missed goal last week, so its all good.  Its always those runs that start off perfectly crappy that end up sweet.

Lunchtime run in the chilly breezy sunshine.  Stiff lower back and slight soreness in lower right hamstring scrapped my plan to go 1 min on/1 min off for the middle 2 miles, so just ran easy at 8-8:15 pace.  The 50 trips up and down stairs and 100 trips up and down the step ladder caught up I guess.  I am stripping, prepping and painting the ceiling in our dungeon family room.

Used the interval workout feature on the Garmin for the first time - programmed a 1:00 interval with 1:30 rest and 8 repetitions, with warmup and cool down - very cool.  Did the workout on the Overstreet Trail loop in the 50 degree sunshine at lunch.

Little 4-miler at a bit under 8 min pace - from the Gardens trailhead then up and around Ravine Trail and North Loop.  Track work tomorrow - maybe 300s and 500s or starts and a fast 400.
