AM - 6 laps. Ran about a mile to warm up, then ran 4x1000 with some of the girls. They did solid and hit their times right around 4:00. It is a nice warm up to the week pace and even though I was dead tired, it go the legs moving. Ended with a couple more miles on the track at a decent clip for a cool. (Kinvara White 135)
afternoon - 9 4x1600. DI warm/cool as usual and 4x1600 for the workout. Felt like it might not be a good day, but ended up being one of the best track workouts I have had since college. Took it conservative at first, but noticed that I felt pretty decent and moved ahead of the 2nd group with 800 and finished at 5:08. Took the 2nd one out a little quicker and finished solid at 5:02. Then started the 3rd and felt maybe as good as I ever have running and just seemed to float along the track. Even had to hold myself back knowing that I had one more and finished at 4:53. The fourth didn't start quite as good or feel quite as good, but really even though it was hard, I wasn't killing anything and I ran a smooth 4:54. Pretty pleased with it... Good way to start off a way too busy week. (Adios 181.5)
