Warm-up, 2X200 (40 & 39), 6 reps of 800's at 7:15, 7:32, 7:15, 7:25, 7:22, 7:17, and cool down

The warm-up and cool down was at an 8:40 pace ave. We ran 200's between each 800 at a 9:00ish pace. Since this was our first time back to the track in a while, we took it fairly easy. I worked on technique... posture was good and I stayed on my toes & forefoot during the entire workout. The calves are a little sore!!

This was a hard race... Besides the wind, rain and cold, the course was a true race course with lots of faults flats and hills. I really had to focus to finish this one. Also, very sore and tired from this weeks workouts. I will take this one! :) I got a dog tag finishers medal... Now that's special!!! :D

Spun out on the trainer for hour and a half. I need a nap now!!
