Couldn't get my workout in this morning or this afternoon so it had to be this evening. It's dark by 6:30 so I tried to get to a track with lights. Found several except the reason the lights were on was because they were playing football and soccer games. So I headed for my home track arriving in the dark. Fortunately, we had a football game going on at our high school so the lights were on. The good part is that our HS track is completely separate from the football field and sits adjacent to it. So the light from the stadium was enough to light the track too so I wasn't completely in the dark although the back stretch was a little spooky.

Workout was 2x2M in 10:00 or better with just 3:00 rest this time. I think it was four minutes rest last week.

First rep was in 9:58. Felt pretty good but was also pretty tired and the temperature was plummeting which made the 3:00 rest less helpful as my muscles started to tighted pretty quickly.

Second rep was in 9:59. Was more tired at the end than I wanted to be but I'll take it.

Four mile cool down.
