Slow slow SLOW today.  Busy the rest of the day so got up early and took Cooper around the neighborhood.  Cooper even did the 400 repeats today! :-)  Warm-up, then 5 400 repeats.  Felt slow and sluggish, my left shin feels a little tired, I think from trying to work on my form (not heel striking).

Rest Splits: 9:45, 9:58, 10:06, 9:35, 9:54, 9:58, 9:35, 9:49

I need to learn how to set a workout on the Garmin so the 400s are actual 400s and the times aren't all over the place!  I did wear the heart rate monitor again though!  So that's progress.
