hobbled a bit

Thursday--Got to the country club early enough to stretch for a minute. What a concept! At the 2-mile mark, we (J. Manion, John C. the other John, Ed and me) started our pick-ups. Today was a ladder: 5 min, 4 min, 3 min, 2 min, and 1 min...with 2 min jog in-between each. We ran the 5 min at 6:00 pace, 4 min at 5:45 pace, 3 min at 5:30 pace, 2 min at 5:15 pace, and 1 min at 5:00. This took a lot out of me and Ed, as we hobbled a bit over the next mile and fell off. We did eventually join up with John Callaghan. John fell out of the workout after the 3-min run. Finished up in about 56:30.
