It's dang hot out there
Track workout today. Big crowd at the Lee track. Jay, John, Bill, Teresa, Leah, Jane, Jen and Julie. When we got to the track Owen Shott and Paul McRae were also there doing intervals.
The guys started by doing a one mile warm-up around Willowbranch Park. Half of the ladies ran from the Y as their warm-up, the other half had gotten there a little earlier and had already warmed up. We then started the intervals. Today it was:
2 x 1000 at 8k pace
2 x 800 at 5k pace
2 x 400 at mile pace
After that, we did a one mile cool down around Willowbranch Park. This was Bill's first workout since his accident and surgery on his thumb. He has been out of action for a couple of weeks and the layoff plus the humidity wore him out. However, I was very impressed he was able to do all of the intervals except for a 400. He is doing the first race inthe Jax Tri series this Sunday. He isn't optimistic on his chances, but I think if he approaches it as a training race, he'll do fine. The swim might be interesting. . .
Overall, a good session of hard running. Looking at my splits for a similar workout last summer, I am much faster this year. Woo-hoo!
