Back home in SF got in some miles with Kimi. Trying to get the running legs back in gear after the vacation and travel looking toward my 5K this Saturday. After 2 or so miles of warmup and strides I did 6x200 at the track. I couldn't remember what I've been running these over the past few weeks, go mixed up thinking I had been doing some under 40s but I was thinking about the 400s I've been doing mostly 1:35-1:40. So felt frustrated I was getting so tired doing 40-42s 200s and unable to get under 40, but in reality this was the fastest I have done these since other weeks I was mainly just trying to get under 45s. So that makes me happy although these 6 short repeats really wore me out.

Splits were 41, 41, 42, 41, 41, 40

Here are my splits from earlier weeks doing 200s:

6 weeks ago: 45, 46, 45, 44, 45, 44, 44, 44

4 weeks ago: 44, 45, 44, 44, 43, 44, 43, 43, 42

2 weeks ago: 43, 44, 43, 43, 43, 43, 43, 43, 43, 41

Ran a quite miserable 5K. Stiff headwind the first 1/2 of the race and lots of hills. Also temps in the 70's so too warm for my tastes. It was not very fun and felt alot harder than the 23:10 finish time which is slower than some of my 5K training runs. Oh well!
