not at all inspired by the lack of heroics

Sun, 10/19--At 9:30, I did the 5.7M loop in 40:35, 7:07 pace.  Windy and cool, but a beautiful morning otherwise.

Sat, 10/18-Justin and I met up at my house for a workout.  Looking back at some of our event workouts, we struggled to choose between 1000s (5), 800s (6-7), 600s (8-9), and 400s (10-12).  We ruled out 400s, but had a silly-hard time with settling in on a workout.  We discussed advantages and disadvantages.

We ultimately decided on a ladder/combo: 1000, 800, 600, 600, 800, 1000.  We would run out, walk back 200m, do the 800, and so forth.  We'd later decide, for convenience sake, that we'd do 1000, 800, 1000, 800, 600, 600.  Rest period: 3:45-4:00

With the wind, tired legs, and the distraction of people setting up the bike course for an event the following day, this workout was not as successful as my most recent ones.  I was more tired than usual, and not at all inspired by the lack of heroics.  For his part, Justin had a couple of runs that were an improvement over some of his previous ones.

1000: 3:28 (2:42 at the real 800 mark)
800: 2:41 (a full 800, not 765m)
1000: 3:19 (2:35 at the real 800 mark)
800: 2:45
600: 155
600: 2:00
