Intervals. Would have to look, but probably close to a year since going two days in a row without running. Now, latest round of chaos days appear to be looking like chaos week(s) or month(s). Oppressive (152) and not a hint of breeze for relief. Planning on 1200s...HM, 15K, 10K, or 5K???...just want to air it out for a few minutes. About 60 hours in a car or in a chair. Little sleep and weight down about 4#s.

Up = 2.25 miles. Jog to track with a few surges before striding the straights and walking the turns for a lap.

1200s = Average 6:37 on the track. Strong start while dodging a gaggle of yakkers who couldn't decided if they wanted to use all eight lanes of the track or just seven and a half. Flip directions and average 6:41. Hit the gate onto the streets and into some hills. Average 7:09. Lower back fatiguing fast, starting to lean back and reach out too far with stride. Pace falls off the side of the table. Workout over.

Down = 2.57 miles. Was heading towards the park, so took a loop. Another day, another full cycle. Quarter, two dimes, a nickel, and six pennies.

Cute. Fat Elvis named the groundhog "Chuck". Had he named him "Doug" would have needed a garden hose to get him off the thing.
