split 500, split 400

When it's in the low 40ºs or below like today, the thing I hate most is cloudy, wind, and rain.  We had cloudy and very windy today.  43º, cloudy, wind advisory in effect, gusts to 30mph occasionally during my workout.  Wanted to do speed today but just too cold.  Felt much colder than 43º due to the wind. 

Running good times on a day like today is out of the question due to the cold and wind, so I did a brief conditioning workout.  Hard, despite the slowness.  I went into the heated mens room to warm up before and in between sets.  Still able to run in a sleeveless T and shorts.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 100m, bands

'split 500' - 300m - 45.56 / 90 sec rest / 200m - 31.46

'split 400'  - 300m - 47.35 / 75 sec rest / 100m - 15.38

All my splits were about 15ish, except when into the wind, then they were 16-17.   Was going to hang around and do some weight pulls but I was beat and cold.

140.0 lbs after workout.  

Been doing some resistance on my off track days.  Core, hip flexors, squats, upper body.

Plan to be out Wed and Thurs.  Both days should see some sun, less wind 40º on Wed., 50º on Thurs.
