Track workout at Murray High. I emailed Jake K this morning and asked him to look out his office window to see if there was snow on the track. He said it looked like an oreo with a white inner layer and black outer layer. So the track looked clear. I warmed up 2.6 miles and did a lap around the track to inspect...it was 90% clear...the southeast corner had a layer of snow and ice. I decided to continue on with my workout but I knew my times would be slower than normal. It was also 31 degrees so it was pretty cold. 10x800 with 60 seconds recovery, 2x400.

2:59, 2:57, 2:57, 2:55, 2:55, 2:53, 2:54, 2:53, 2:52, 2:49, 1:21, 1:20

Considering the conditions of the track, the cold weather and tired marathon legs, it wasn't a horrible workout. I know I'm faster. But I wasn't dying during each 800, they felt controled. 3 mile cool down.

Impressive workout. One minute recovery is much tougher than 400 meter recovery! I learned that on Tuesday. Good job.

I can't see the SE corner from my building so I give myself an "A+" for conditions reporting!

Good beer mile training.
