Tonight I have to meet people in D.C., so will have to skip the evening run.  We're having t-storms anyway.

16.000.000.000.0016.00

noon: 4 (31 min), NIST, shakeout

p.m.: Washington-Lee H.S., 12 miles total, 3 warm up, 2 drills, workout, 2 cool down

6 x 1000m w/ 400 rest in spikes

3:02.3, 3:05.5, 3:05.6, 3:05.3, 3:05.2, 3:03.5

Plus 9 laps of drills, 3 sets each of: walking high knees, walking butt kicks, skipping high knees, with 100 striders after each drill.  Dennis also wants me to add jogging high knees and jogging butt kicks, and I plan to work up to this.  As it stands this is three times more drills than I have done previously.  By the time you are done with 3 sets of the 5 drills you have done 15x100m, which is almost a workout in and of itself.

As for the 1000s, went out a little fast on the first one (72), but then settled in and felt pretty in-control for the next four.  The last one hurt.

We had a cool front move in last night, so the weather was nice, in the high 70s.

This was a good set of intervals for me.  I was really in control and had a good sense of my pace.
