PM: Track workout with Lee and Drew and a couple of others.  Got to see Charles and talk to him a little bit about his trip, but still had thousands of questions- guess a long run is in order  :)

Workout was two sets of three 800s, with 200 rest in between items and 400 in between the two sets.  Normally four items in each should be in order, but I'm VERY happy it was only three.  I was lucky to have Drew on this one, as I wanted to quit on item 5, but just seeing him up there was reinvigorating enough to get me to finish the last two.  There's something about competition that is just essential in track workouts, and it makes me actually enjoy them when all is said and done.  I somehow got roped into a religious conversation which was overwhelming.  I should know better than to open my mouth about things I don't know a lot about.  Lesson learned!

800 splits-   2:38, 2:30, 2:29, 2:29, 2:34, 2:37

Although, Drew, you need to start sharing your motivational internal music with me a little earlier... ;)

Will do Mike, but buyer beware ... the song I had going in my head last night was pretty OK ... but sometimes the wrong thing gets stuck.

I did a long run a couple years ago with this flea collar jingle on endless repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1umbFOLztAw
