6 x 800

All were between 2:52 and 2:58, except the last which was 2:43... I got "yelled at" for sandbagging but I think I just need to start out faster.  There is a faster girl that I am going to try to run with next week which will make it more of a challenge.

Still feeling great, no lower leg pain. Knock on wood.

2:43 is scary fast.

I obviously had way too much left! But I personally think it's better than going out too fast and hating the whole thing.

Hating it would be a bad thing. I wonder if your other repeats are too slow for you to get the benefits you're supposed to get from speed training. I hope you find a balance, sandbagger.

It means you are ready for 8x800 :) Nice job.
