What a good workout today!! We did five 800's and the temps were cooler than they have been since last month. My car showed 80 degrees, but I think it may have been a few degrees lower. I did change one thing the day before, I watched what I ate. Most days before speedwork I was chowing down hard and I started to get sluggish the next morning at the track. Today was awesome... I was full of energy and I was recovering quickly between intervals! I also took an energy gel right after warmup. Last 800 was a little slower only because I was prairie doggin it the last 400... Ooo that hurt!!!
