Weather - 82 degrees, sunny. I ran 1.5 miles to the arboretum, then got into the workout - 400m run at 5k pace with a 200m recovery on dirt roads. It was noon so the temperature was warm. I did not have water, but my body did a good job of keeping its temperature under control. I was able to run 12 x 400m, which is pretty good considering my allergies are making sure I am not at full strength. My effort was a bit softer than a normal interval workout, one reason being my low energy, another is that I am finished running fast for the year. I am trying to maintain my fitness, but I am letting the speed get away for now. After the run 2 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 25 minute walk home. Reading Benn's blog I discovered Dean has a new book out, today I got it at the library. I am looking forward to learning more about this amazing runner.
