Three mile warmup on the ravine trail and then a little track work in prep for Thursday's 800 - ugh.  4x200 at 36, 37, 35, 35 with about 30 seconds rest between, then after about 5 minutes, did one 400 at 72.  Looking for around 2:26 in the 800 - 72/74 - we'll see.

After Debby cleared out, humidity is down a wee bit, and there were moments of coolish breeze during my evening run.  Not really meaning to, I actually average under 8 min pace for the entire run - thats something - I guess maybe its time to start getting serious about prepping for some XC races in the fall.

Surprised myself a wee bit with a 2:24.9 in this evening's summer track 800.  The planned 200 meter splits of 36, 36, 37, 37 for 2:26 became 36.9, 35.9, 36.6, 35.6.  Trav jogged a 2:11 in trainers in the fast heat taking a teammate through 400 in 62, then backing off - teamie got a PR 2:05 - nice!  I got second in the old guy heat with a "young" old guy just ahead of me the whole way - not sure I would have hit my time without his help.  Man, the last 200 of an 800 is just not comfy at all.  Mile and a half warm up and only a half mile cool down - couldn't muster more than that.

As I type this I realize that dropping 10 lbs and getting serious again about the whole running thing would easily get me 10-12 seconds faster in the 800 - just might have to start working now to be ready for the 50-54 age group masters track circuit!

One mile with the doggie and a couple more on my own - ridiculously warm steamy evening on the neighborhood roads.
