I now have a goal

Fri, 1/15/16-didn't sleep well; up at 4:29 AM; exhausted; worked; almost went to the Y to lift but chose not to ultimately.

Thursday, 1/14/16-
Arrived at Westtown School at 5:40AM or so for a moderate workout.
Warmed up.
Spiked up at just at about 6AM.
Decided to do 150s on this 25-degree morning, very light winds (thank goodness).
Initially, I thought I'd do a few at 22, a few at 21, and a few at 20 with about 2:45 rest between (walk 100, jog 100, walk 50)
After a measly start at 23-mid, I knew my legs had no whip.
I decided to temper my expectations in favor o a shorter rest.
I'd do 4 150s in 23 and 4 in 21 and shorten the rest to 2:15 (walk 50, jog 100, walk 50).
#2: 23-mid
#3: 23-low
#4: 23-high
#5: 21-mid
#6: 21-low
#7: 21-low
#8: 20-mid

Wed, 1/13/16:
I did 4.3/4.4M--two (2) Rustin-plus loops (17:45, 34:20 (16:35)).  Very windy, cold.

Tuesday, 1/12/16-
Met up with the crew in town for the hills workout.  The temp was much better than last Tuesday.  It was about 25-degrees, not 12!  It was still cold but not an icebox.

I did okay today, managing all 8 hills in 16:33.  I now have a goal: break 16:00.

I found myself fallen off the top group's pace after hill 2 or 3.  Those guys finished in about 15:15.  As I finished my 7th hill (14:30ish) and made my way back down for number 8, Manion and Ed were well into the second half of their climb.
