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.

Good track workout this evening before dinner.  Ran 2.25 miles warmup at 8:00, 7:20 and 6:46 pace, then 10-15 minutes of active stretching, flexibility before track work.  Did 2X300 (51, 50), 1X450 clocking the last 400 (69), and 2X300 (51, 49) - 2 minutes between 300s and 3 minutes before and after the 450.  Half mile barefoot cool down on the infield. 

Got my email newsletter from masters news today and that helped me nail down my next goals - racing the 200, 400 and 800 (depending on the schedule) at the SE Regional Masters Meet in Raleigh on June 10-11.  Now to organize my training plan and get busy.

Longest steady run I've done in months - seemingly.  Lots of up and down - good steady run.

Good run in the neighborhood this evening following a welcome rain.  Steadily dropped from 8 flat to 7:15 pace over the 4 mile effort.  Peculiar dizziness and confusion over last 2 days kept me from working out.  I'm thinking sinus pressure - much better today, but going to visit the doctor Monday for a good check-up.
