10 miles, hard
30 degrees, dark

We had one of our larger track workouts tonight with at least 16 guys participating.  Jerry had us run 6x1200s, but I struggled with the pace.  Dickson, Matias, and I began running at 78 sec/lap for the first two intervals, then 76 sec/lap on the next two, and had a goal of 74 sec/lap on the last two.  By the end of the first four intervals I was convinced that I wouldn't be able to go any faster, so I only ran the first 800m of their 1200s.  I did the last interval in spikes.  It wasn't a great workout, but it was still a solid workout for where I am right now, and it was the kind of thing I need to get my speed back.  It's gonna hurt.
