feeling the effects of yesterday's loops and conveyor belt.

Wednesday, 2/17/16-I was going to head to the Y, but I bagged the plan.

Tuesday, 2/16/16-Took off.

Monday, 2/15/16-After returning from a visit to Lafayette College with my daughter, I headed to my alma mater, Swarthmore College, to use its battered, non-competition track.  I chatted it up with Pete Carroll and one of his assistants, John Noon, before warming up in the drab, drafty and somewhat crowded field house.  The infield was being used, and there were, go figure, runners about.

I tried to get myself nice and warm and stretched out.  I managed to get started at close to 5:30.  My tepid plan was to do some 200s.  I wasn't sure how many; I just knew I wanted to do a few at a moderate pace and a few at a faster pace.

Run 1: 29-high
Run 2: 30-low
Run 3: 29-high
Run 4: 27-mid
Run 5: 27-high

I took 3:30 between each run, feeling the effects of yesterday's loops and conveyor belt.

Come spring, I'd like to be able to do 4x200 in 29-30 and 4x200 in 26-27.  This would compare well to my college days when we'd do 4x200 in 27-28 and 4x200 in 24-25.
