PM: Track in St. Pete. Originally I wasn't planning on making the trek since I had just raced and have a marathon coming up, but I'm happy I did since I had a lot on my mind and running usually helps. I had planned to drive down with Tyler and Cory, but each bailed at different times which was tough, but I just drove anyway.
Fun track group today and everyone was in good spirits. I don't think anyone really wanted to commit to running the planned 800s, so they let me try my silly run game with them and split the workout into two pieces.
4 x 800 with 200 recover in between. Paces ranged from 2:30-2:33.
Then we went on the trail for a 2-minute, 3-minute, 4-minute, 3-minute, 2-minute workout with the bridge in our way and recoveries ranging from 1-2 minutes. It was a fun way to game-plan and "race" the times as opposed to just focusing on pacing. Was about 2.4 miles of speed and did some sprinting in there at points too which was fun.
I will incorporate negative points next time for the out for the last place person I think, and likely for the way back too, just to keep it more honest.
