For the sixth tor seventh time this summer, I went to Goose Creek Park to do some Yasso-style 800s on this moderately humid 70-degree morning. I started early, beginning my trek down there at 7:35 AM. My repeats began at 8:15 AM. The plan was to do 8x800 in 2:40 or better, with a 2:45 rest. I started from the bulletin board and stopped at the opposite exit, for a full .49M; we'll call it an 800!

I think this was my best 8x800 series.
Saturday, 9/17/16
Ran the 6.5M route in reverse (right from driveway onto Plumly, right onto Plumly, left onto Oakborne, right onto Concord, right onto Old Westtown, right onto Westtown, right onto Street Road, right onto Shiloh, right onto Plumly, left into driveway. 48:30 Felt easier. Ran too slowly over first few miles. With three miles to go, (at the 3.5M mark) I was at 27:10. I covered the last three miles in 21:20, or 7:07/mile.
