AM- Decided to do my first track workout of the year this morning, and it was nothing blazing, but a good start to the summer. I have a goal to hit the track once a week, unlike last year where I hit about 6 times the whole year. I warmed up by running to the AF HS track and then did a 8x400m workout with 200m recoveries. The HS was hopping with every kind of sport so I had a audience while running. I ended up running in the 3rd lane most of the time because the first two lanes were getting watered pretty good, so that probably added a couple of seconds to each interval. Legs felt dead from Saturday too. Here was the breakdown: 1:15, 1:15, 1:17, 1:16, 1:15, 1:16, 1:15, 1:13. It was a fairly conservative workout and my heart rate for each interval was around 180bpm. I did a lot of working on form because it felt so weird to run faster than 5:30 pace. I cooled down on the run home. 7 miles total 53:00. (Omni- 472 miles)
