Feb. 5

AM: 6 miles easy

PM: 10x800m @ 5k pace w/ 200m jog rest (<1:30), avg. 2:29, 11 miles

Ran Rock Creek Park pretty easy in the morning.

After work, I met up with P. Murphy at B-CC high school for some 800s. I started off fairly conservatively but finished where I was aiming. The short, active rest is pretty key to this workout. Last time I ran this workout (home over Christmas), I averaged a few seconds faster, but that was in spikes (wore flats tonight), on Westminster's mondo-surface track, and with 2:00 jog recoveries. So I'd say I'm not too far off the mark here--in fact, it may have been a better quality workout this evening. Splits: 2:28, 2:32, 2:31, 2:29, 2:28, 2:29, 2:30, 2:29, 2:28, 2:27.
