Cutting Shapes

Time: 83:17
Distance: 13 miles

Warmed up from the Lodge to the track through campus and finished with a few laps on the track for 25:31. It was cold out. Low 30s, but the wind wasn't terrible. Possibly around 7 mph. Tom wanted me to do a solid workout of 1k, 800, 600, 400, 200 but that wasn't going to happen b/c the wasn't geared toward that. Instead I thought that I would be able to run some 400s and get into a rhythm.

Target: 16 x 400 w/ 200 jog. Drop pace from 68s to 62s in sets of four.
Actual: 12 x 400, 4 x 200.
Splits of: 69.02, (60), 68.44, (56), 68.08, (54), 67.88, (1:57 400m jog)
66.69, (57), 66.49, (54), 66.26, (56), 66.38, (2:32 had to take off tights)
64.63, (58), 65.44, (60), 65.52, (60), 64.87, (3:09 600m jog)
31.39, (57), 30.56, (57), 30.13, (57), 28.36, (55) for 35:30 total and 10,600 meters

Decent amount of work. I knew during the 3rd set that I wasn't going to be able to run 62s, so I opted for some 200s. I wanted to get a quicker stimulus in and that allowed my legs to turn over.

C/d back to the Lodge in 22:16 after dropping in the newsroom to say "hi" to Jilane and leave my flats to pick up later.
