AM: Short run around the neighborhood. Really nice morning so I wanted to get out a bit, but I wanted to save myself for an evening workout. So I just did three miles at a medium pace and stretched awhile. 21:00 PM: Record-breaking heat today (90 degrees) so the plan to run in the early evening meant a warm one. But it actually was ok. I went to the Bremerton High track, did one mile warmup (didn't take much in that weather), then 6 Yasso 800s. Even though I had 'conservative' in mind because of the heat, I ran a little quicker than planned and was able to keep it up. I was aiming for 3:00 each, but went 2:52, 2:53, 2:53, with 400m jog in between each. Then a short water break, and back to it: 2:50, 2:45, 2:47. To run that and still feel strong by the sixth was encouraging. I was tempted for two more but I've got 20 on the horizon for Saturday, and want to be careful in the heat. I'll come back with another Yasso workout in two weeks, during the marathon taper. One mile cool down. supernova glide -- 221
