Notes
The plan called for 2 mile warmup, 10 @ MP, 1 cool down. But when I saw Alex and his VFAC buddies getting ready to roll their Tuesday night tempo, I thought I'd go over and ask what the workout was and to find out if there was anyone around my pace. This one guy, Jeff (or was it Greg?) was looking to do 12 @ 6:45, so I figured that I'd get a similar training benefit as doing my 10 @ goal MP (other than practicing race pace), so I decided to join in. But it seemed right from the beginning we silently agreed to meet halfway. Then we started drifting faster into my goal pace, and at times I had to tell VFAC guy to chill out. Since we got up to my intended pace for much of the workout I considered calling it at 10, but I felt committed to workout. It was great to have a co-worker for this one.
Nice chatting with the guys after and cooling down with Nic, whom I found out is also going to Boston.
