Notes
Temp 65 Winds Calm. Humidity 89%. Dew Point 62°.
Track Intervals. Not able to sustain mental focus this morning (more later). Jog 1.76 miles to the track at 8:28 average pace. Take two laps and stride the straights and walk the turns.
Workout will be at least three miles of intervals with max of 600 meters. All jog intervals will be 200 meters. Looking to be "good" over being "fast". Did not pull it off:
200 @ 6:39 average pace.
400 @ 6:24 average pace.
600 @ 6:17 average pace.
600 @ 6:20 average pace.
600 @ 6:24 average pace.
600 @ 6:28 average pace.
400 @ 6:25 average pace.
200 @ 6:37 average pace.
Started fine, but got too fast too soon. Flipped directions mid-way and was running progressively slower every lap attempting to navigate left turns. Phoned in the last 200. Packed it in and jogged 1.56 miles back to the house at an 8:35 average pace. Two pennies.
Have lost good friends from high school and college fraternity brothers through the years. Accidents, incurable diseases, destructive lifestyle choices, etc. First one yesterday in a manner that "old" people pass away. Sobering.
