I started out just thinking I'd do an easy run but for variety I ran out to the new park where there is a marked trail and decided to do some repeats since the loop around the parked as 1/4 mile markings for a 1 mile course. Decided on 800's, thought about doing just a few then settled on 5. I ended up doing just 4 since I have a long race coming up on Sunday and this was more just for fun and also because I did the 4th one better than expected I thought a very small reward was in order.
repeat times: 2:50, 2:58, 2:59, 2:48
I didn't know I could run that fast still, I'll add some more on next time or maybe do 1K repeats but try for the same pace.
I watched Andy later that day at his track meet, he ran in the 4x800m. This was his first time doing a relay event. I timed 2:38 which was a little bit slower than the other 800's I've wathced him do but this was his first time doing a relay so maybe that cost him a second or two doing the hand off at the start and finish.
