Time: 57:19
Distance: 8-9 miles

Ran from the house down to Agoura Hills HS. It looked liked they recently got a new infield. One of those field turf kinds with the little rubber pellets everywhere. I warmed up 21:27 which included about a mile around the track in lane 6. I was planning on running some 200s but thought that since it was such a nice day that I should do some drills. I can't remember the last time I did drills but I have always enjoyed them. I used the extra movement as a way to loosen up instead of stretching. By the time I was done with a few strides I was fairly loose and feeling good.

Target: 8 x 200 @ a decent pace.
Actual: (50.84), 31.18, (51.13), 31.69, (52.94), 31.49, (53.38), 31.69, (53.56), 32.06, (54.52), 31.68, (54.42), 32.07, (53.00), 30.00 for 11:15.65.

Not a bad workout. I'll take it. 11:15 for two miles running hot/cold 200s. I was feeling pretty good the whole way. Not happy with those two repeats that were 32 though. I was able to maintain form well and feel like I was striking with power. Running in trainers wasn't too bad. I thought about bringing the Adidas flats out but I didn't want to run down to the track and back with them. This is just a starting point for the season. I'll definitely be doing this workout again and the times will be in the 28-29 range. I just hope the rest splits will be the same.

C/d back to the house 24:37.
