Easy warm up run. It was the first practice after mid-term break, and the temperature had dropped about 20 degrees over the break, and it was rainy. 50 degrees doesn't sound that bad, but I bundled up in my tights and felt great. My hands and ears felt pretty numb though, so I will have to make sure I wear my hat and gloves tomorrow.

I felt especially good despite not having slept last night.

Interval training in Elm Park. We ran 20 400 meter intervals in sets of 5 with a long jog in between each set. We were running the intervals alternating between hard and easy, with the hard ones at about 75 seconds, and the easy ones at about 85. The rests were about 2 minutes. Here are my splits.

I felt great through the whole thing. It got pretty cold and nasty by the end, but it felt good to be running hard in it.

Easy cool-down jog back to campus from Elm Park. My legs felt pretty tired, but good nonetheless. It was a good workout.
