AM: 11 miles at track in Safety Harbor. Ran some fast laps, but mostly slower as I matched with different runners to help them to their goals. A new guy came today who has a 4:04 mile and a 1:48 800m accredited to his name- at age 39- hopefully he joins!
PM: 9 miles at track in St. Pete. I haven't been here in about a year (or longer), so it was nice to visit. It's an old 440-yard rounded-off square track... the only thing it's missing is a cinder track surface and it'd complete the 1940s feel to it. The guy who runs these workouts is a pretty famous runner from the 70s and 80s and one of the cooler people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. He didn't start running until his mid-30s, but has a 46-minute 15k, a 2:27 marathon run six days after a 2:31 marathon, and one of the most ridiculous mileage counts to his name (he still averages 10+ miles a day at age 79.) It was nice to see him and get 2 miles of work in.
