One last track workout before the marathon. Drove to the Y, warmed up inside on the bike and did some stretching and core as I usually do. Headed outside for an easy pace 2 miles, then headed to the track across the field. Temperature was decent although not quite cool enough for "superman weather". Goal was 4 X 1600 @ 6:17. I knocked out each 1600 but didn't have a lot of enthusiasm. It was more businesslike, still got the job done though. 800 jogging between the 1600's. Splits were similar to last time. actual: 6:05, 6:08, 6:06, 6:08 The 1st and 3rd ones were run counterclockwise around the track and the other two ones were run clockwise. It's odd that I run slightly faster when going clockwise. I saw Kathryn out running 800's in the grass with the cross country team.
Finished with a little over a mile of easy running. Just a little over 2 weeks left. I'm keeping my eye on the weather, it could be nice, it could be cold or windy or rainy, or cold windy or rainy. If everything lines up right it could be pleasant with a nice tailwind - a person needs their dreams :)
