I was short on time and had wanted to get some quality distance so I changed it up and just went for quality up tempo running. I have been reluctant to go near the track because I haven't been near it since before I got sick and quite frankly I am superstitious. The last time I ran on the track I did short 200's pulled a hamstring and two months later got sick and hadn't been even tempted to go near it in over a year and 4 months. Well I decided to pop the cherry today. I was basically jogging by it kind of pissed that due to obligations I only had about 40 minutes to spare and was trying to figure my route and basically figured I wouldn't get much more than about 4 miles of easy jogging. So I took a hard left jogged onto the track and banged out 3xmile with 1/4 mile jog in between. I had no particular goal other than I figured I would shoot for 10k pace on the first one and see how I felt. I ended up starting about there and picking it up a bit for the last two. Felt good to do some hard running, plus the track is rubber so it feels forgiving underneath. Oh yeah, I finally took the time to figure out where the actual mile start and finish is. Splits:
1-6:32
2-6:26
3-6:23
