Indoor warmup: walked 5 min, then stretching. Warmed up by myself a bit on the SF track, then met TylerS. Melody and Mack bailed. 2.31 miles warmup. Plan was 6 x 1600m repeats, with 800m rest. My pace range was 5:50-6:03, and my coach said to do 5-7, so I chose 6 and wanted just hit in the slower part of the pace range. It was windy on the track, so after the first mile repeat, Tyler and I traded quarters. 1 - 5:58, 4:56 rest 2 - 5:59, 4:52 rest 3 - 5:58, 5:00 rest 4 - 5:58, 5:01 rest 5 - 5:56, 5:15 rest 6 - 5:55 and done! The fifth was hard, the 6th was worse. The good news is that 6:00 pace seems hard but not like a sprint or like V02 max. So I think I am getting more fit! I am so grateful to be able to run like this again. I have to soak it up while it lasts. I appreciate Tyler hanging in during the workout. It takes alot of resolve to do mile repeats, and I appreciate the company, especially in the wind. Marion and Luz came over last night with killer cakes. I am still indulging. I think the cakes made me extra fast! Hooray for sugar!
