10.5 Everyone's favorite workout 16 by 400. Limited venues to do it in so I went to the fieldhouse at the U. My legs were definitely feeling it on the jog down and the first few intervals, but once I got into a groove it went very well. I ran 4 straights and three turns and then about 200m jog between each. The first one was in 79 then 76 and just kept getting faster. The middle intervals were in the 70-72 range and the last two were 69 and 68. With the goofy distance of the track it's hard to tell the exact distance, but it was close enough. Mostly I focused on form and once I figured out how to run fast again things went well. It feels good (though it still hurts) to run fast like that again. I think it's important, even in marathon training, to have a few hard track sessions to remind the body how to move quick. 4.5 Got the new Nike Flyknit trainers so took them out for a jaunt. Ran into Bill and a few of his East kids. Felt good, though that hill on Virginia still hurts. Also got a speedsuit, can't wait to take it out in a race.
