Turnover work at the track in preparation for Saturday.  There was still a little sluggishness in my legs, but I think I got it somewhat worked out.  Now, some recovery, a great race, and then the last haul to Chicago.  I'm disappointed I had to have a low week because of my plantar and quad.  But, I guess it paid off, because my foot is doing so much better.  I hardly even noticed it today.  It was better even than last week.  

3 mile warm up, plus 4 x 200.  I ran my favorite pre-race workout 1600, 800,800, 400, 400, 400, 400.  I wanted it quicker that last week since it was a shorter workout.  I had to do a lot of dancer dodging since the dance company was practicing.  They were nice about watching for me, and I tried to be courteous to their practice.  It did throw things off a little bit, though.

1600; 5:38

800:  2:43

8:00: 2:41

400's:  77.1, .77.2, 76.4, 74.2

400 recovery between the 1600 and 800's.  200 recovery between 400's.  

Jog home so Teren could leave for work.  A little short today.
