Wanted to do some 800's, as usual I kind of bailed on that, but at least I kept doing some speed work.  Either I don't have the mental strength for track work or I am running faster than I should be. I would like to think it is just the latter, but I think it is a combination of the two!  Anyway, I guess I got enough in to prepare me a little for the 5k shock I will get this Saturday.

3 mile warmup around 8:10

800 - 2:56, 2:57

400 - 1:28, 1:23, 1:20, 1:24

200 - 38

1.5 cool down around 9:00

Adios II Miles: 8.00

Hey you got in something. The 5k is going to be a better workout anyway!

I've had to learn to sandbag a little on my trackwork, at least in the first few repeats, in order to finish what I started.

Yeah, at this point those 800's should probably be more like 3:15 ... But I will get there ... 182 miles in last 27 days, since I got back to running consistently. :)

Wow, you're already up to about 30 miles this week, great comeback! BTW...I did the 800's yesterday and let me tell you, they're not that much fun :-(
