AM: 72F, 76%. Continuation of the cool, dry air. My butt is still sore, but I decided to give the 400s a go, as I'd missed the last couple go-rounds of this workout for various reasons, and this is a fun workout. So 8 x 400 @ mile pace, 90 sec rest. I knew my workout PR from May was 75.8 and probably raced it a bit today, usually not a good thing. Today I averaged 75.1, but with a lot more effort. Splits were 75.5, 73.9, 74.3, 75.6, 74.9, 76.6, 74.5, 75.1. I bit off slightly more than I could chew in the 2nd and 3rd reps and had to make a heroic effort at the end to maintain 75s, but it worked out. Usually on these, I can run the first 200 without hurting and then have to really focus the second 200. By the 6th rep, I was hurting after 100m. Good results though.
AM2: seized the opportunity for a double this morning after striking out yesterday. 4 mi w/ a few pickups to 10k pace.
