Ugh.  My initial thought was that I was not quite recovered from Saturday's run and I should run easy today.  I should have stuck with that.  I did a track workout, and my legs were super fatigued.  I think I was a bit ambitious with my pace.  I could hold it, but there just wasn't that spark in my legs that makes a really good track workout.

I wanted to run 6-8 800's today.  I thought I could hit them all about 2:45.  I would probably have been a little more comfortable at 2:48-2:50.  I only got six in.  

I warmed up 3 miles and did 4 x 200.  My 800's were  2:43.6, 2:45.8, 2:45.12, 2:45.7, 2:45.9, 2:48.2 (I totally died!)  I ran a 400 recovery in between.  There was a nice headwind into the home stretch that made the workout even more fun!  Oh well.  It's done!  

I only had time for a mile cooldown back to the house.
