Cutting Shapes

Time: 85:27
Distance: ~12-13 miles

On a foggy morning I ran out to the GT in 26:56. Legs were feeling decent, but I wasn't sure how they were going to respond. I knew I had a perfect morning for the workout... no wind, cool temps, good nights sleep. I really didn't want to f this one up. When I stopped at the little park by the library to use the facility I noticed that it looked like someone got murked. There was blood everywhere and blood soaked toilet paper on the ground. Maybe everyone was ok and it was just some homeless lady on the rag.

Target: 2 sets of 6 x 400/200 in 68-69. 800m jog between sets.
Set #1: 68.81, (59.08), 69.06, (59.40), 68.25, (59.06), 68.57, (59.51), 69.30, (59.49), 68.13, (3:43)
Set #2: 68.50, (57.05), 68.75, (56.77), 68.35, (57.88), 68.51, (58.55), 67.50, (59.00), 65.64 = 27:08 for 7600m

Workout went relatively well. I got through the first set well and really focused on maintaining the pace on the second. The GT is not in the best condition these days. This workout was similar to a couple workouts that I have done in the past. The first one is here and the second one can be found here. It is a little difficult to compare them directly, but I think my fitness is improving.
