Rode bike 5 miles to track, did a little fast running, rode home.

Soft surface track, inside lanes are soft with ankle twisters on curves, so ran in what probably would be 3rd lane.  I am definately not good at speed work & don't really enjoy it ... but a little is better than none.

Ran 400 meter recoveries in about 2:00 each, then did a short cool down

4 x 400:  1:22, 1:25, 1:30, 1:28

Did not have a target pace & never looked at watch while running them.

Planned on doing more, but it was hot!  It is what it is!  The bike ride was nice!  :)
