December 1

AM: 6 x 800m with 400m jog recovery, 4 x 200m strides - 11 miles

I went up to the CSM track for a quicker sharpening workout in spikes, but a consistently stiff wind on the home stretch and on again, off again rain literally dampened my effort. I love working out on this beautiful track because it's fast, near my apartment, and you can see half of the San Francisco Bay up on the hills, but the trade off is sometimes the wind can be brutal.I was trying to average 2:20 or better, but I didn't have much luck in the conditions. I shrugged that off an cooled down afterward on the infield for 20 minutes with my lactic-acid filled legs reassuring me that the effort was there. Splits: 2:18, 2:21, 2:21, 2:22, 2:26, 2:21.
