43º felt warm today at Sewanee's Coughlan track. There was intermittent drizzle and a light breeze. By the third 500, I was down to my sleeveless net tee and short tights. No 'one-upsmanship' today. Disappointed at the times. I averaged about 2 seconds slower than my goal time and previous best 4 x 500m workouts.
I've trained at Sewanee a lot over the past few years... I wonder why I have NEVER seen a member of the college track team working out here? Probably explains why I beat all their 400m guys last year.
I finished my warmup and started my first 500 just as the 12 o'clock bells were ringing - on this eve of Christmas eve.
600m warmup, stretches, drills
saucony spikes on
4 x 500m - 81, 83.5, 86, 88 (avg 84.6)
I guess I may have lost some foundation in the week off. Maybe I need to go back to 600s? Maybe 'father time' is catching up with me?
It's going to be hard to find a place to train in Conkin with snow expected but I'll bring my stuff just in case. I hope to be on the track at least twice next week.
