First CRC track workout of the season

800 @8k pace, 3:00 recovery
2x1200 @ 10k pace w/ 4:00 recovery
4x400 @ 5k pace w/ 200 jog in between

Last night's track workout initially hurt as much as I expected it to, both physically and mentally. The second my feet hit the rubber track at MIT both my legs and mind did not want to go. I am so much slower than the rest of the A (meaning marathon training) group that I usually do the workout by myself. Hearing and seeing the hordes of fast people stampede by during the 800, 1200, and 400s added to the feeling of "wow I got out of shape," but by the end, endorphins had kicked in and I felt better.

I'm looking forward to this training season. Another teacher is going to send me his Boston training schedule and I might attend Quasar track workouts and indoor practices as well.

800: 4:35
1200s: 7:59 (did 1400 by mistake), 7:13
400s: 2:09, 2:15, 2:01, 1:52
