I did a really good track workout today. I’m just so damned pleased and impressed with myself that I can’t stop me from obnoxiously posting about it. The session:
- Warmup run to the track (~2.5 miles)
- Assigned work: four cutdown intervals with 3 min jog rests. Goal times (paces):
- 1600 in 6:40 (6:40)
- 1200 in 4:55 (6:36)
- 800 in 3:10 (6:20)
- 400 in 1:30 (6:00)
- A couple miles cooldown on the track, followed by 1.75 mile run home.
- Tea and sandwich.
- Full workday sans lassitude.
Actual times (paces):
- 1600 in 6:33 (6:33)
- 1200 in 4:43 (6:20)
- 800 in 3:05 (6:12)
- 400 in 1:25 (5:42)
I was not running too hard. Also, it was windy today.
Hee.

Wuss? Hardly. I’ve seen you race.
You just have a soft spot for elderly men.
