A chance

Sun, 10/9-Met up with Chuck, Bob, and Andrew for some 800s.

8x800 at 8K pace (3:20) on 60' rest. I joined on the third one, as they arrived earlier than I did and started while I was doing my warm up laps! Needless to say, I didn't have much of a chance to stretch. I wound up doing my last two solo.
