Ran 4 miles down to the track and then did a little bit of "speedwork"...

4x400:  85, 82, 82, 80 (jogged 2minutes between)

Jogged 1 lap

1 x 1mile:  6:12 (comfortably firm pace)

Jogged 1 lap

8 x 100:  semi-sprint barefoot

Jogged 1 lap

4x400:  82, 82, 81, 78 (lungs were fine...just had to be careful w/my achilles)

Jogged 1 mile and then ran home for a total of 15.25 miles

Hope to begin 2 "big workouts" per/week (Mon/Thurs) w/slow jogging in between days to keep up base mileage.  My hope is by Fall for the "big workouts" to incorporate at least 16-20 miles w/a tempo or two mixed with "speedwork".  We'll see how it goes.
