Notes
This went much better than I thought. I was fairly worried that I wasn't going to be able to hold even the first mile. It was nice that Rob and I had the same mile together because we could help each other. It was a little tough, but nothing I couldn't handle. The 400s were fun. I was faster than I anticipated, but at least on the first two I kind of worked off Rob and then held on at the end. Even the last two weren't too bad, but I was getting a bit of a side stitch. Managed to hold it off. Legs were jelly by the end, but glad to do this one and really glad to have Rob to work with.
I didn't use flats. I think I need to lose about 10 more pounds before I'm ready to put that much stress on the knee. Making progress on that part though.
