Wanted to run a couple quality quarters, but light was waning by the time I got home from work - no time to get to the track before dark, so I did them on the lighted neighborhood roads.  Ran a 7:20 mile out to a fairly straight, fairly flat, nearly quarter-mile section. Pretty sure the distance was only about 390 meters, since I was at about 85-90% effort and ran the first one in 63 and the next in 61, after about five minutes recovery.  The last 50 meters of each was pretty tough, which is what I was wanting to feel since I have to race the 400 on Friday - not likely to be any easier in 4 days.  Jogged the mile and a half back to the house and stretched a bit.

Three comfortably quick miles (7:43, 7:23, 7:07) and then 6 striders over at the trails.  Just trying to stay loose before racing this weekend.  Will do my last track workout tomorrow morning.  Starts and a couple 300s and a couple 450s - something like that.

Hit the track this evening one last time before Albuquerque.  2.25 warmup and then stretching before 4X50m block starts, 2X100m block starts and 2X150m block starts - no hip pain... just big toe pain between reps.  Getting pretty dark after the starts, so just did a quick 300 (46.8) and a quick 200 (28.3), and then 2 barefoot laps on the infield.  'Bout as ready as I'm gonna be - still considerable linger doubt about racing the 400, but we shall see.  I feel like I should be able to go sub-58, but fear something closer to 60 - at least this nervousness is nothing compared to nerves before running a marathon - it'll all be over in less than a minute  :)
