Track workout at Cottonwood High. I warmed up 2.5 miles around my neighborhood. I ran by an old lady with a big scowl on her face. So I looked at her as I passed and yelled, "Wheeeeee!" The scowl stayed on her face. But I'm pretty sure that I brightened her morning just a little bit. 

The plan was 3x1600, 2x800, 4x400 with 400 recovery (1 minute between the 400's). My splits were: 

5:45, 5:44, 5:43. 2:48, 2:47, 80, 79. 79, 78.

I'm really happy with this workout. I was finally able to break out of my 5:49 mile "funk". I felt strong and was able to push it at the end. 2 mile cool down.
