AM: easy 2 mi. jog around the hood with my dawg - about 11 minute pace :)

PM: Time trial day with the group:

WU - 1.5 mi. w/ strides,

1mi. - 5:10 - Going out in 1:15 for first 400m didn't really help me much.  At around 600m, the legs felt very heavy and I began to struggle with the pace.  Full recovery - 800m jogging

800m - 2:26.  Again, 400m was 0:69, but I could not sustain.  Full recovery - 800m jogging

400m - 1:02.  Slower than last attempt - attribute this to the strenuous 1mi. and 800m.  Full rec.,

2x800m threshold - 2:46, 2:45

Cooldown a lap.  This is difficult with the group, didn't really get to do all I wanted to do, but it was good to have people there to run with.

PM2: slow 2.5mi. on the treadmill before the UK game - Go Cats

Nice going on the time trials. Those short races are so tough, can't imagine doing all in one day. Awesome that you have that middle distance experience, albeit from a long time ago.
