Jeep trail next door. High 40's, hardly any wind, not bad at all. Trail muddy in spots due to heavy rains last couple of days.

Legs felt very good, but it was a hectic morning and I got really late, so went for a speed workout, first time in ages, and it went very well. The seven splits were very similar to the first seven from the very good workout of Mar 5, 2017, though on that day I did one more interval and had less overall rest. A better comparison is Feb 8 of that year, when I hadn't done speed work in a while, and today was both faster and I did more reps.

Warm up (quite fast in itself): 443, 419, 404 (tot: 1307)

...and then continuing without rest to the threshold intervals...

338 [59 rest] 333 [59] 331 [130*] 330 (tot: 1413, for 1.76 miles, very close to 800/mi pace)

*needed a little extra time to catch my breath, so clearly this was faster than actual threshold pace in my current condition.
