This put a positive taste in my mouth.

Saturday, 8/6/16
Went to the Y with the idea to do five (5) easy miles.  Unfortunately, I was running late and managed only three.

Donut track: 15:30 (2 Miles)

I decided to do 6x800 at Goose Creek Park. My warmup was the nearly mile long jog down there.  My rest would be 90 seconds sharp!  After stretching my tight muscles, I was ready to give this workout a whirl.  I started at the park billboard and finished at just about the exit (the tail-end of the loop). After I did the first one, I decided I would run each four seconds faster than the previous. 
Run #1: 2:52 
Run #2: 2:48 
Run #3: 2:44 
Run #4: 2:40 
Run #5: 2:36  
Took 2:00 break
Run #6: 2:28

This put a positive taste in my mouth.

This compares favorably to Tuesday's

Run #1: 2:57 
Run #2: 2:48 
Run #3: 2:47 
Run #4: 2:46 
Run #5: 2:44 
Run #6: 2:32

Ran the XC course after work.  The 7:30/mile pace felt like 6:30/mile pace.  ARGH

Wed, 8/3/16-I don't recall.
