Pretty good run today. Cold (21 degrees), but I guess it's time to accept the fact that winter has arrived. My hip felt 90%, but the shoulder was somewhere around 80-85%. It didn't hurt so much, but my arm didn't swing as loose as it should have.

Started with 2 easy miles in 14 minutes, then got on the track for 3 x 1600m repeats with 400m rest between each. Here's the breakdown per lap:

It was the first speedwork in over two months, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was shooting for anywhere around 5:00, so I can't complain. Wishing I could have gone sub-5 on the last one, especially with a fast first lap. Oh well....next time.

Finished the run with another easy 3 miles in 19:30

Good job on your first speed workout in a while! It's impressive especially given only 400m for a rest between. Your mile splits are very even, but your lap splits perhaps could use a little bit of evening.

Oh yeah, and nice shot of your little bad legs.
