Best run in ages.  Warm up to Zilker Park and then 7 x 1,000s on the grass.  I was in the 4:15 group.  However, most of them were well under that mark.  Splits were 4:03, 4:04, 4:04, 4:09, 6:47, 4:14 (I paced this one to show that we could do 4:15)....and then the bomb drop...a lung busting 3:29...it was tough, but felt good.  After that jog back to RunTex and then onto the gym!

Nice job out there James! It was good to see you and run with you back to the annex.

Likewise. It was good to catch up. Sorry you had a tough run, but I am sure you'll do great tomorrow. Next week is the last core workout, then the week after its hill time!!!
