72F, 59%, NNE 10 mph. A little cooler today. 12 x 400m at the track, 200m active recoveries.
Average was 1:25.6 (1:31, 1:22, 1:28, 1:24, 1:23, 1:25, 1:26, 1:27, 1:25, 1:27, 1:26, 1:23). For my sub-18 5K goal, I need about 1:26, so this was a little under that, which is good. There was a definite headwind on the backstretch which hurt a little so a good effort, all in all.
Ran in my new racing flats and they tore up the back of my heels...bummer. Now I have some blisters to contend with (not to mention a bloody sock). All my other shoes have little grooves or something similar in the back, I guess to prevent that from happening, but not these for whatever reason. Maybe I can cut these or something and try to modify them myself. |
