Frostbite Series 2M in Forest Park. Terrible time, 13:56, barely broke 7 min/mile pace. Strides in park afterwards felt much better. Most people were about 15 sec per mile off their pace from last race...but I was almost 30 seconds off.
Felt very tight...didn't help that I kept feeling chilled even when warmly dressed inside the visitors center and it was raining pretty hard during the race. Probably paying the cumulative toll of holiday feasts and sleep disruption too. Plenty of warmup, maybe too much? Ah well, pretty sure its just an anomaly, will bounce back.

to track after thunderstorms passed, 5 x 1000 @ 7:20 ish (4:30-4:35) w 2 min jog. started a 6th one but misread time and thought it was too slow to go on. alternate direction took me in heavy deflected wind from building. Tired before and during, but felt surprisingly good after I got home.

speedwork group. 3 sets of 600, 2R, 200 w 3R between sets
brutal to jump into these after such a pleasant jog over.
2:05 total (84 at the 400) then 37
2:07 (85) then 39
2:09 (86) then 41
then on the way to Metro station had a conversation w a nice security guard and city policeman about why i ran over the tracks to get to the station. Apparently its not the thing to do. Did not even try to explain 'its the shortest route' and 'the backstreets are more pedestrian friendly'. Just stuck with 'I'm sorry, I didn't know any better, and I won't do it again'. When he asked where I was coming from, I said workout on SLU track and he looked down at my legs and running shoes, obviously convinced. Finally a chance to 'let my legs do the talking'!
