AM - Nice and cooler out this morning and there was no almost throwing up, so I'll call it a win, despite the sluggishness and not meeting my goal paces.  On the docket was 5 x 800's with 4 minutes rest in between (learned my lesson and upped it from 2 last week).  Did a 2 mile warm-up, then hung out in the lower neighborhood where it's flatter for the repeats.  Somehow I messed up the workout so it only had me doing 4 splits, and so I did 2 minutes of the 5th one and realized it was on a rest lap and just got confused and I should have just finished it but was too confused!  So I did about 4.5 800's. 

TT: 56:03  AP: 9:11

800 Splits:  3:49, 4:00, 3:59, 3:56, 2:06 (.26)

I'm slower than I think I am?  Stupid Singapore...

PM - Went to the gym with Justin, did 10 minutes on the elliptical to warm-up, 15 minutes or so of leg weights, then 10 minutes on the recumbent bike while waiting for it to be halftime so we could drive home.
