AM: Finally did a workout seriously!  I wanted to quit/almost talked myself out of it after the first two 800s.  Actually, I was talking myself out of the 1st 800 interval and almost dropped back to pace other runners.  I am happy I hung up there with Anthony again.  He was definitely surprised I was there, but I presume thankful as well.  

The workout was 6x800 with 400 recoveries.  Splits (from lane two)-  2:36, 2:34, 2:32, 2:34, 2:32, 2:31

I am also thankful to report that I did have more in me- I just was not willing to push myself for the first five intervals, so I figured it would be a bit moot to do it on the last one, particularly when Anthony was so consistent with helping me along.  I did not want  to compete, I simply wanted to share the success (at least success on my end!)

Overall, this was a fun experience and I am  happy I did not acquiesce to my negative thoughts.  This might be a turning point for me, so I will try another workout on Friday on tired legs to see if  I can create a habit of perseverence.

PM:  11.3 miles @ 7:15/mile pace.  I felt pretty spry, but that is not surprising given I had not ran since Tuesday morning.

PM: Track workout with John and Elia.  5x1000, splits were conservative, but progressive- 3:43, 3:23, 3:19, 3:20, 3:05.

I felt pretty good during this workout and was in lane 2 for the duration.  The rain was falling for the entirety, so that did help cool me off a bit.  John was a huge help and is in great shape- likely better than me, so  I appreciate him building into it.
