Track workout: 40 degrees/light rain

The track was a little slippery and I was under dressed (tank top and shorts...oops!). So I adjusted my workout and decided that I should aim for around 6 min pace. 2x1600, 4x800 (400 meter recovery jog)

5:57, 5:57, 2:56, 2:57, 2:56, 2:55

Given the conditions, it's not a horrible workout. My legs are STILL tired from Saturday's 20 miles. I forget that running up and then down Wasatch/Big Cottonwood Trail can really hammer your legs. Plus, I'm back to doing my physical therapy workouts so my legs are also sore from that. Wow, I have a lot of excuses don't I? 

I'll be in sunny California next week so I'm going to use it as a recovery week. This week I'm hoping to get around 60 miles again.
