Track workout night. After a real easy Jaguars practice (taking the kids to Hayward Field Saturday for the last meet of the season), I stuck around on a warm evening (80 degrees) for a Yasso 800s workout. I'd like to get 3 of these in before the marathon, and I have about six weeks more to do it. 1 mile warm-up, 9x800 w/200m rest between (which may be too little), then 800m cool down. The repeats started too fast, and I was without water. Still... 2:40, 2:46, 2:52, 2:49, 2:51, 2:50, 2:54, 2:51, 2:55. It's actually a pretty good set, if a little inconsistent. I'll shoot for 12 next time.
