76F, 90%.  I....drove....to the track today for some 200s.  It was actually open, and no one was there to bug me.

2 mile warmup, then 3 x (6 x 200 on/off) with 2 easy laps between sets.  I forgot to bring my watch (which happens a lot when I have to drive somewhere to run) but it was probably a good thing, as I could go by effort.  Wanted to quit after the second set, and almost did, but after a couple easy laps I felt ok, rolled my eyes, and begrudgingly did the 3rd set.  It was actually kind of comforting having my truck right there, knowing I could just quit if it got too hard.  Might be a bad thing later on, but today it helped me do the 3rd set.  I'm just waaay outa shape, and the stale air felt like a warm blanket wrapping me up, which is not the feeling I was going for.

But, it's in the books...good little starter workout.

Good start Joe! I'm ready (mentally) to start some track work, but physically probably not. How about when we get together we do some track work? :-)

BTW...go to my blog entry for today and you will understand why you are feeling so "outa shape". :-(

Good workout, Joe. Efforts sounds right.

That's pretty impressive, a lot of repeats. Have you picked a race yet?
