Ran this evening, nice weather. I guess it is the calm before the storm.
First track workout of the year. I started out running the Lundstrom Park 4 mile loop backwards and then running over to the USU track. I ran a warm-up lap on the track, so I ended up with over 4.5 miles of warm-up total.
For my workout I did 4x800 meters with 400 meter cool down (and a drink out of the drinking fountain). I had no idea how I would feel, but in the back of my mind I wanted to run sub 2:40s for the workout.
- 2:37 I felt okay and tried not to take it out too fast.
- 2:40 I was almost too conservative on this interval.
- 2:38 I felt better than the second one, but the wind started to really pick up.
- 2:31 I stayed conservative on the first lap and opened it up a bit on the second
My cool down laps were almost identical in time to my intervals.
Not too bad of a workout for my first one in a year. I cooled down by running one lap around the track then heading up 1000 North around Hillcrest and looping around the university. I ran almost a 3 mile cool down, and a total run of over 10.2 miles. I got done just before the Thunder storm rolled in.
