Nice day this morning with light wind and around 60. I went to the track today to do some 800s. I haven't been to the track in probably around 6 months so didn't know what to expect. Today I planned to do 6 x 800 with 400 jog recovery. I thought I would target 3:00 to see if I could hold that pace. I did a 2 mile warmup and felt pretty good. My achilles was still a little twingy but felt ok after the warmup. After that I started the 800's. Here are my splits: 1st - 3:02 2nd - 2:58 3rd - 2:58 4th - 2:57 5th - 2:56 6th - 2:56 These turned out a lot better than I expected. I felt pretty good throughout but my legs were getting heavy on the last two and I could tell my form was starting to break. Otherwise, it was a good workout and a good surprise concerning my fitness. Did a 1 1/2 warm down. 61:33 (7:42 avg)
