Solid run.  Warm up then 4 x 2,000 meters with 2 minutes rest between each one, and then a jog back to the house.  Alas the 2,000 meter course was a little short.  The Garmin says it was around 1,900 meters.  Still happy with the solid (if not spectacular) splits, especially as I seriously thought about quitting after #2: 7:21, 7:37, 7:27, 7:19.  I'd say add 20-25 second for my 2K split.

This wasn't quite the workout I'd prepared myself for as rode down to the track.  The plan was do 20 x 400 meters with 1 minute rest between each one.  When I arrived at the track not too many folks were around.  I ran with a fellow Gazelle for an easy warm up on the trail.  When we returned, a few other Gazelles turned up who had parked about 1 1/2 miles away.  Amongst the group was David who asked if I'd join him for some Yasso 800s as he is a fair bit quicker than the other folks heading to Sacramento.  I thought...what the heck, but figured I could probably only hang at his pace for 3 or 4.  I surprised myself and stuck it out for 5, then I jogged a lap while he did #6, and then did #7 with him.  I started with him for #8, but my legs were toast and he was a good 20 seconds in front of me by the end of that one.  However, I think that may be my quickest set of 800s ever.  The splits were: 3:02, 2:56, 2:48 (apparently that one was my fault ;o), 2:55, 2:50, 2:52, 3:04 (yup the legs were toast).  I then had to ride my bike 4 miles home...it wasn't the quickest ride in the world ;o).

Poor run today.  Rushed out of the house this morning without doing my usual pre-run routine, and I paid the price from about mile 8 ;o(.  Oh well..there is always the chance to redeem myself tomorrow ;o).
