Worked at home today so did the run later in the morning. Kim was doing a 6 x 800 workout (400 rests) so I joined in for the fun.  Temps were pretty nice (40's) but the dang wind made the 800's feel harder than normal. Plan was to shoot for 3:30-3:45 for each interval.

Kim stayed pretty consistent thoughout except for the last one when Coach Tom decided to mess with her a little and pick up the pace to see if she would notice. She figured it out by about 1/2 way through and I don't know that she appreciated it but did a good job staying close and finished it in 3:20something.

Glad to see you've been able to maintain some consistent mileage recently and stay injury free.
