track 22:31 [4] 3.5 mi (6:26 / mi)
weight:136lbs
Thursday evening track group. Plan was 2 x 800 on a 4:15 cycle (so if you took 3:10 for the 800, you got 1:05 rest), 2 x 1600 on a 8:30 cycle, and then 2 x 800 on a 4:15 cycle. Warm and very humid.
Did ok -- 3:11, 3:10, 6:30, 6:30, 3:10, and then skipped the last 800, just felt like I had done enough.
I was thinking at the end that part of the benefit of doing these workouts was getting the body used to moving faster, and part of the benefit was remembering how to suffer. It sure seemed like intervals used to hurt more than they do now. Just not pushing myself as much. That will come if I keep at it. I'm serious about that -- it takes confidence to really push yourself, confidence that you will survive, confidence that you can keep going, confidence that you will recover quickly. Get that confidence and then it's easier to go deeper in the red.
So this was progress.

Another rendezvous with Mr. Fox today. Photo coming, I think.

shoes: Montrail #2
Warmup.
Note
So my friend the fox seems to be establishing residency in the trap on the 16th --
And tame seems to be too mild a word, only after someone getting very close did Mr. Fox stand up, but run off? No way.
It may have something to do with the appearance of a rather large hole just under the lip of the bunker. A foxhole, I believe it is called.
It is all quite weird....
