I ran down to LHS to do a track workout with Paul.  Logan and Cody were there as well.  I didn't they were coming because I didn't get back on my blog late last night, so it was a pleasant surprise.  Logan stuck with Paul better than I have ever wanted to and I am sure Paul liked the company.  Between the four of us we were strung out for 200 meters doing the same type of workout.  I did 5x1000 meters with 200 meter recoveries, more of a "Paul workout" than a "James workout", but  not too bad today.  I am still a little sore from last week so speed wasn't something that I was looking forward to doing, but it was easier to do with those guys there.  I did a 3:19,  3:26, 3:26, 3:25, and 3:22.  I didn't want to run anymore than 5K of speed so I called it good, and Cody and I jogged and hung around while Paul and Logan did there 7X1000 meters.   I felt good, but had a hard time keeping consistant in my intervals.  Not a bad workout, and if added up is a 16:58 5k.

Cooled down around the track a few times and then Logan and Paul ran up to my place with me.  Total running was just over 10.5 miles.  It is always better to do a track workout with friends or teamates, for some reason it seems easy, probably mostly a mental thing.  1:19:25
