2 mile warmup, then 8x800 with 1 minute recoveries. Goal pace was 3:00. Well, Jasmine and Cynthia are in a different class than me. I held on for the first one, then lagged 5-15 seconds behind their breakneck speed. After 4, I desperately wanted to play the old man card, and take one off, but I couldn't wimp out. I started keeping my own time at this point, and was gratified to find we were well under 3:00, so I relaxed a little bit and let them run away. I finished out the set, and kept them around 2:55, +/- 4 seconds.
Sprinklers on the 3rd turn of each lap kept us nice and cool/soaked.
What a killer workout. 2 mile cooldown.
Afterward I was so wiped out/lazy, I didn't make it to work till 9. It was nice to be home in the morning to feed and bathe some kids.
